Timing Constraints

The GMAC must be constrained so as to satisfy the timings of standards given the following two tables, in MAX corner.

GMAC3GMDIO toggling from GMDC falling0(1)10(1)
Note:
  1. For GMAC output signals, min. and max. access times are defined:
    • The min. access time is the time between the GMDC falling edge and the signal change.
    • The max. access time is the time between the GMDC falling edge and the signal stabilizes.
