Notes:
1. All input specifications are measured from the midpoint of the signal in question to the midpoint of the rising edge of the input SYSCLK. All 
output specifications are measured from the midpoint of the rising edge of SYSCLK to the midpoint of the signal in question. All output timings 
assume a purely resistive 50-
 load (see 
Figure 5
). Input and output timings are measured at the pin; time-of-flight delays must be added 
for trace lengths, vias, and connectors in the system.
2. The symbology used for timing specifications herein follows the pattern of t
(signal)(state)(reference)(state)
 for inputs and t
(reference)(state)(signal)(state)
for outputs. For example, t
IVKH
 symbolizes the time input signals (I) reach the valid state (V) relative to the SYSCLK reference (K) going to 
the high (H) state or input setup time. And t
KHOV 
symbolizes the time from SYSCLK (K) going high (H) until outputs (O) are valid (V) or output 
valid time. Input hold time can be read as the time that the input signal (I) went invalid (X) with respect to the rising clock edge (KH)—note 
the position of the reference and its state for inputs—and output hold time can be read as the time from the rising edge (KH) until the output 
went invalid (OX). 
3. The setup and hold time is with respect to the rising edge of HRESET (see 
Figure 4
).
4. This specification is for configuration mode select only. Also note that the HRESET must be held asserted for a minimum of 255 bus clocks 
after the PLL-relock time during the power-on reset sequence.
5. t
sysclk
 is the period of the external clock (SYSCLK) in ns. The numbers given in the table must be multiplied by the period of SYSCLK to 
compute the actual time duration (in ns) of the parameter in question.
6. Mode select signals are BVSEL, L2VSEL, PLL_CFG[0:3], and TLBISYNC.
7. Guaranteed by design and characterization.
8. Bus mode select pins must remain stable during operation. Changing the logic states of BVSEL or L2VSEL during operation will cause the 
bus mode voltage selection to change. Changing the logic states of the PLL_CFG pins during operation will cause the PLL division ratio 
selection to change. Both of these conditions are considered outside the specification and are not supported. Once HRESET is negated the 
states of the bus mode selection pins must remain stable.
