PSoC 5, 3 & 1 MCU

[HuEl_264296]

How can I use a UART on a PSoC5LP at 3Mbps with DMA?

If I use a UART with a 24MHz input clock and 8x oversampling, everything is fine.

If I now connect two DMA components to it, I get setup time violations.

I have already tried reducing the temperature range.

Is there any way to make this work?

Can I ignore the warning if I know that my actual temperature range will be 25ºC ± 10ºC

Hugo,

I've tested your configuration shown above. With BUS_CLK = 3MHz

I get warnings but NO TIMING VIOLATIONS.

Can you include a minimized archive of your project?

Something in your configuration is missing.

I have set the clocks as shown in this image:

I tried setting the BUS_CLK to 3MHz, but that still produces a timing violation.

Many thanks!

Hugo,

Try adding a Sync component after isr.

Thank you so much. This fixed it.

Hugo,

The main issue is that the UART component has internal logic connections not seen from the outside that have the BUS_CLK routing to it.  The Static Timing analysis complaining about the setup violations are taking BUS_CLK timing into account.  Having said that, your BUS_CLK is set to 64MHz which means that a clock period is only 15.6ns.  However, due to the static routing delays of the clocks, the maximum BUS_CLK you can support without setup violations is 47.9MHz.  See the file "Design01_timing.html".  However, changing the PLL to 47.9 MHz still doesn't fix it.

I've included a modified version of your circuit that runs at 39MHz BUS_CLK.  No violations.  See if this will work for you.
