Input Timing Verification
Consider an application that uses an external trigger and an external clock. The trigger and clock
signals are routed to an internal D flip-flop (DFF). To ensure that the trigger is sampled on a
particular clock edge, the setup and hold times of the internal DFF must be met:
• Recall that a “terminal” is a PFI pin, RTSI pin, or PXI_Star pin.
• Let TriggerDelay be the delay from the trigger terminal to the DFF.
• Let ClockDelay be the delay from the clock terminal to the DFF.
•Let DFF

be the setup and hold time of the DFF.
• Let External

be the setup and hold time of the trigger to the clock at
the terminals.
