17.2. Processor timing parameters

The maximum timing parameter or constraint delay for each processor signal applied to the SoC is given as a percentage in Table 17.1 to Table 17.8. The input delay columns provide the maximum and minimum time as a percentage of the processor clock cycle given to the SoC for that signal.

Note

The maximum delay timing parameter or constraint permitted for all processor output signals enables 60% of the processor clock cycle to the SoC.

Table 17.1 lists the global signal timing parameters.
