How to determine the operation frequency range of a device?
Most Pericom logic devices can work at a frequency above 133 MHz. Normally, the maximum frequency depends on the timing and switching characteristics such as Tpd, Tsetup, Thold, etc. The maximum frequency also depends on the system condition, including the driver strength, the capacitive load and the trace/cable length, etc. At system level, the best way to determine the maximum frequency is to simulate the IBIS model of the logic device in the system topology.
