 is system clock period.
2. Achieving the absolute minimum TCK cycle time may require a maximum clock speed (system frequency / 8) that is less
than the maximum functional capability of the design (system frequency / 4) depending on the actual peripheral frequency
being used. To ensure proper operation TCK frequency should be set to the peripheral frequency divided by a number
greater than or equal to that specified here.
3. This is a functionally allowable feature. However, it may be limited by the maximum frequency specified by the Absolute
minimum TCK period specification.
4. This value is TDO propagation time 36ns + 4ns setup time to sampling edge.
5. This may require a maximum clock speed (system frequency / 8) that is less than the maximum functional capability of the
design (system frequency / 4) depending on the actual system frequency being used.
6. This value is TDO propagation time 16ns + 4ns setup time to sampling edge.
7. Timing includes TCK pad delay, clock tree delay, logic delay and TDO output pad delay.
