Large SKEW kill UART?

Hi, all:



Implementing a UART(asic core) into XILINX Virtex2 3000-5. Due to 99% slices is used (2 slices is unused), the skew of the gated clock in UART is a little large (2-3 ns).



On debuging, the UART is work well on some boards, however, occur error on other boards. And when I add a skew constraint to limit the skew below 1ns, all boards is ok.



I hope to know, does par tools do setup / hold check with skew analyse. My current mapping tools is ISE5.2.03.



regards, seyior
