Device Architecture
VersaNet Timing Characteristics
Global clock delays include the central rib delay, the spine delay, and the row delay. Delays do not
include I/O input buffer clock delays, as these are dependent upon I/O standard, and the clock may
be driven and conditioned internally by the CCC module. Table 2-5, Table 2-6, Table 2-7, and
Table 2-8 on page 2-19 present minimum and maximum global clock delays within the
device.Minimum and maximum delays are measured with minimum and maximum loading,
respectively.

1. Value reflects minimum load. The delay is measured from the CCC output to the clock pin of a sequential
element located in a lightly loaded row (single element is connected to the global net).
2. Value reflects maximum load. The delay is measured on the clock pin of the farthest sequential element
located in a fully loaded row (all available flip-flops are connected to the global net in the row).
3. For the derating values at specific junction temperature and voltage supply levels, refer to Table 3-7 on
page 3-9.
