5.6.4. Programmable Output Buffer Delay

The delay chains are built inside the single-ended output buffer. There are four levels of output buffer delay settings. By default, there is no delay.

The delay chains can independently control the rising and falling edge delays of the output buffer, allowing you to:

  • Adjust the output-buffer duty cycle
  • Compensate channel-to-channel skew
  • Reduce simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise by deliberately introducing channel-to-channel skew
  • Improve high-speed memory-interface timing margins

For more information about the programmable output buffer delay specifications, refer to the device datasheet.
