setup and hold time

Started by z_11...@yahoo.com May 10, 2008
Hi
C6713 have a setup time and hold time equal 1.5 and 2.5 ns, in PCB design, haw many delays could be support in data bus and address bus and CLK in external memory interfaces?
Tanks for your kind support.

I assume you are referring to sync EMIF interface (SDRAM), since you mention CLK signal. Why would you have delays?
Are you putting some other device in between the 6713 and the mem chips?

As long as you keep the SDRAM chips close to the 6713 and use equal-length traces then you should be Ok. With trace
lengths just 30 to 40 mm max you won't have significant PCB delay. I suggest that you download 6713 DSK schematic and
layout files and study them carefully. The DSK is a known-good reference design.

80 mm is somewhat long but still should be Ok. In any case:

-data line traces between the DSP and SDRAM
should be equal-length

-address line traces between the DSP and SDRAM
should be equal-length

-CLK line should be as long as longest
data/addr line

Trace length and length-matching to the Flash is less important.

The DSK boards are intended to serve as complete "reference designs", so the schematic, layout (Gerber) files, and BOM
should all be available. The only exception is that some schematic pages are not released by Spectrum Digital having
to do with their proprietary JTAG-over-USB interface circuitry that is used with CCS software.

If you can't find the layout files for DSK 6713 then you should ask Spectrum Digital and if they can't help then ask
TI hotline.

PS. Why are you posting to me? Post to the group! The only reason anyone answers your question in the first place is
because of the group.
