Impact, SVF, assumed TCK frequency?

In SVF files generated by impact there will be delay statements on the form:

// Loading device with a 'ferase' instruction. ... RUNTEST 15000000 TCK;

What is the minimum delay as a result of this statement, i.e. what is the assumed TCK frequency for impact generated SVF files?

TIA Petter

In the Xilinx SVF file, the assumed TCK is the maximum TCK frequency of the device. Look the datasheet of the FPGA or your CPLD (between 10 to

40 MHz).

Hmmm. But when there's a chain of different devices, or even other brand names than Xilinx... I guess impact will use the lowest speed in the chain based upon the attribute in the BSDL files:

attribute TAP_SCAN_CLOCK of TCK : signal is (10.00e6,BOTH);

Is my assumption correct?

The assumed frequency is 1MHz, this is documented in SVF app notes and the iMPACT user guide.
