AR# 53435 MIG 7 Series DDR3/DDR2 - Timing violations may be seen in 2:1 designs running around 533MHz within u_ddr_mc_phy

Version Found: 1.8
Version Resolved: (Xilinx Answer 45195)

Timing violations similar to the following might be seen in MIG 7 Series DDR3/DDR2 2:1 designs running at frequencies around the maximum supported frequency of 533 MHz:

Slack (VIOLATED) : -0.091ns
Source: u_mig_7series_v1_8/u_mig_7series_v1_8_memc_ui_top_std/mem_intfc0/ddr_phy_top0/u_ddr_mc_phy_wrapper/u_ddr_mc_phy/ddr_phy_4lanes_2.u_ddr_phy_4lanes/

To work around these timing failures, there is an optional parameter within the mig_7series_v1_8_ddr_phy_top.v module that can be enabled:

parameter RD_PATH_REG = 0 // optional registers in the read path
// to MC for timing improvement.
// =1 enabled, = 0 disabled
