Hi,

I am using the FT601 chip with Cyclone V GX FPGA.

I have difficulty in setting the input delay of FPGA's timing constraint.

In common definition of input delay, input delay = the time from clock rising to data stable (both clock and data  are from FT601).

In FT601's datasheet,  (https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/DataSheets/ICs/DS_FT600Q-FT601Q%20IC%20Datasheet.pdf)
In Figure 4.8 and Table 4.2, T1 and T2 give the AC timing of signals from FT601 to FPGA.

It seems that the data is stable between CLK's rising-T1 to CLK's rising+T2.

There's an sdc example in AN_421 FIFO Bus Master for FT60x (https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/AppNotes/AN_421_FIFO_Bus_Master_For%20FT60x.pdf)

Code: [Select]
set_input_delay -clock [get_clocks fifoClk] -max 7.0  [get_ports {RXF_N}]
set_input_delay -clock [get_clocks fifoClk] -max 7.0  [get_ports {BE[*] DATA[*]}]
set_input_delay -clock [get_clocks fifoClk] -min 6.5  [get_ports {RXF_N}]
set_input_delay -clock [get_clocks fifoClk] -min 6.5  [get_ports {BE[*] DATA[*]}]

The input delay max = CLK period - T1 = 10ns - 3ns = 7ns (for CLK = 100MHz)



I am confused about the input delay min = 6.5ns.

Since T2 is a minimal value, after CLK's rising+T2, the data of next cycle may be stable before the next CLK's rising-T1.

So I think the input delay min is T2 = 3.5ns.

Why the input delay min is 6.5ns in the AN_421?


Thanks,
Stanley

Hi,
In the document TN_168 "FT600_601 Errata Technical Note", the Erratum 0005 has a description as follows:

"A configuration option shall be provided that may be enabled and disabled. When enabled, then the FIFO clock shall remain enabled
during SUSPEND and when disabled, the FIFO clock shall be turned off."

It seems that there is configuration option that can make the clock from FT601 always be active even during USB SUSPEND.
What is the configuration option and how do I configure it? 

Thanks a lot.    :)
