Marko,
I forgot the terminology of the PCI a bit - but the Tprop, is is a round
trip for the signal from the Transmitter to the closest end of the bus
and then back to the receiver?
If yes:
Still, your period at 33Mhz is 30ns. Now, the data are output by
transmitter on falling edge of the clock, with some delay. So you have
roughly 13ns before the next rising edge, unless you use protocol, where
you skip one clock. From these 13ns you have to deduct set-up time,
which is what...5ns worst case or so? Minus your clock skew (minus 2ns,
obviously, for the worst case)So you have about 6ns full trip time,
which will translate into 36 inches roundtrip.
If you have 24ns roundtrip time - this is too much.
Mike.
