If in fact you are in a SDR application, then your maximum
toggle rate for the signal would be half the clock frequency,
however, one must exercise care to make sure that the signal
displays appropriate behavior at the time that it will be
sampled which is at the 166 rate in this case. Simulation at
the clock frequency may give you eroneous data in that you only
have half the time available before the waveform starts heading
in the other direction. With a heavily loaded etch or weak
drive, this may manefest itself as a waveform that has a hard
time getting to/beyond threshold. Increasing the period can sometimes
have a magical effect in curing this apparent problem.

just my 0.02

Subject: [SI-LIST] : Simulation of address and data bus

Hi! I had a question regarding simulations of address and data bus at
particular frequencies. Say, if the chip is being clocked at 166Mhz do we do
simulations of the address and data bus to the chip at 166Mhz or do we do it
at half the clock frequency.? What would give an approx real world scenario,
simulation at the clock frequency or half the clock frequency?

Thanks
Bhavesh
