2012.3 Vivado Timing Analysis - Why is the MMCM output generated clock value incorrect?

Description


I have an MMCM which takes a 5 ns input clock and generates a 400 MHz (2.5ns) output clock, but I get 2.20e-07 value. This derived clock is incorrect and causes downstream timing errors.

Why is the MMCM output generated clock value incorrect?

Solution

This issue is scheduled to be fixed in the next major release of the Vivado software.
