This document explores the complexities of clock timing and skew in various FPGA devices, highlighting the differences between larger, slower devices and smaller, faster ones. It emphasizes the importance of consulting data sheets from manufacturers like Actel, Xilinx, and others to understand performance metrics such as clock-to-clock skews under commercial conditions. Important considerations, such as hold times, voltage support, and PLL performance, are discussed, alongside practical recommendations for ensuring optimal timing performance in your designs.

Clock Timing and Skew:Real Devices Note: material will include larger, slower devices. Smaller ones may be faster. Check data sheets.
Actel • Xilinx • Chip Express QYH500 • Atmel/Honeywell AT6K • MRC • UTMC/Quicklogic
Act 3 Act 3A14100A, Worst-Case Commercial Conditions Critical clock-to-clock skews.
RT54SX72S - 0.25 m Check your hold times! Note: 4.5V Vcci; also supports 3.0 V.
RT54SX72S - 0.25 m Check your hold times! Note: 4.5V Vcci; also supports 3.0 V.
SX-S Timing Note the clock load in each R-Cell is 3x in the SX-S series.
AX PLL Performance Note: Can not run with a moderate frequency clock.
Skew, Virtex, IOB Flip-Flops Skews increase with device size.
Virtex DLL Timing Parameters Notes 1. Like many FPGA parameters, guaranteed but not tested. 2. Can not run with a moderate frequency clock.
