Global Tree Timing Characteristics
Global clock delays include the central rib delay, the spine delay, and the row delay. Delays do not
include I/O input buffer clock delays, as these are I/O standard–dependent, and the clock may be
driven and conditioned internally by the CCC module. For more details on clock conditioning
Minimum and maximum delays are measured with minimum and maximum loading.

Notes:
1. Value reflects minimum load. The delay is measured from the CCC output to the clock pin of a sequential
element, located in a lightly loaded row (single element is connected to the global net).
2. Value reflects maximum load. The delay is measured on the clock pin of the farthest sequential element,
located in a fully loaded row (all available flip-flops are connected to the global net in the row).
3. For specific junction temperature and voltage-supply levels, refer to Table 2-6 on page 2-6 for derating values.
