Note to Table 5–80:
(1) The DCD specification is based on a no logic array noise condition.
Here is an example for calculating the DCD as a percentage for a
non-DDIO output on a row I/O on a -3 device:
If the non-DDIO output I/O standard is SSTL-2 Class II, the maximum
DCD is 95 ps (see Table 5–80). If the clock frequency is 267 MHz, the clock
period T is:
T = 1/ f = 1 / 267 MHz = 3.745 ns = 3745 ps
To calculate the DCD as a percentage:
(T/2 – DCD) / T = (3745ps/2 – 95ps) / 3745ps = 47.5% (for low
boundary)
(T/2 + DCD) / T = (3745ps/2 + 95ps) / 3745ps = 52.5% (for high
boundary)
