tPD9
Combinatorial input to output delay for 9 × 9
Combinatorial input to output delay for 18 × 18
Combinatorial input to output delay for 36 × 36

tPD18
tPD36
tCLR
tCLKHL
Register minimum clock high or low time. This is a limit on
the min time for the clock on the registers in these blocks.
The actual performance is dependent upon the internal
point-to-point delays in the blocks and may give slower
performance as shown in Table 4–36 on page 4–20 and as
reported by the timing analyzer in the Quartus II software.
