Timing Closure Process
In the DTW, however, if you create a 2-PLL mode memory interface,
DTW needs two clock cycle selections each for resynchronization and
postamble paths. DTW uses the clock cycle selections from the legacy
controller MegaWizard for one and estimates the clock cycles for the
other one. See
and figure
for the relationship of the clock cycles in the legacy memory controller
MegaWizard and the DTW.
Because of this relationship, depending on which clock cycle the
dtw_timing_analysis.tcl
asks you to adjust, you need to either change the
clock cycle in the legacy memory controller MegaWizard or in the DTW.
If the Recommended Settings panel asks you to change the clock cycle in
both MegaWizard and DTW, change the clock cycle in DTW, synthesize
the design, and re-import the memory settings into the DTW. More often
than not, DTW will be able to recalculate the other clock cycle selection
and pick the correct one. You should, however, ensure that they are
correct.
Changing the Address/Command Clock Connection and Phase
Shift
This is applicable to DDR2/DDR SDRAM interfaces only. To change the
address/command clock in RLDRAM II interfaces, refer to the
“Changing Clock Phase Shift” on page 3–23
.
In order to use a dedicated PLL output clock for the address/command
clock, you need to enable the Insert extra pipeline registers in the
datapath
option and disable the Clock address/command output
registers on the negative edge
option, as shown in
.
