General Description

Figure 1–7. Clock Uncertainty Set-up and Hold Check

To obtain the clock uncertainty values from HardCopy II devices, you
should use the Altera HardCopy II Clock Uncertainty Calculator which
consists of the Tcl-based script for obtaining the PLL setting summary
and the Microsoft Excel-based spreadsheet of clock uncertainty
calculators. Both utilities are packaged in the Altera HardCopy II Clock
Uncertainty Calculator, which is available on the Altera web
site (www.altera.com).
