shows the required AC timing for the GT-64260A SDRAM interface and SDRAM devices data bus.
GT-64260A to SDRAM chip select timing calculations:
Tcycle > Toutput_delay(GT-64260A) + Tsetup(SDRAM) + Tdelay(fly_time) + Tclock_skew
7.5 > 3.8 + 1.5 + Tdelay(fly_time) + 0.5
Tdelay(fly_time) < 1.7 ns
shows the simulation of 0.8 ns delay trace. The fly time is measured from the GT-64260A reference
point that was measured in
(1.3 ns) to the Vil measured on the SDRAM pin (4.1 ns) in the
figure below (board simulation).
Simulating this topology will give the following results. The calculated fly time is 4.1 - 1.3 = 2.8 ns.
