source synchronous timing (Xilinx)

Hello,



I am trying to constrain a source synchronous input to a Spartan 3E FPGA. On the website:

I found an examples for source synchronous timing constraints.



The thing that I don't understand is the constraint for the falling edge:



TIMEGRP DATA_IN OFFSET IN = 4 VALID 3 BEFORE CLK TIMEGRP FF_FALLING;



Why do they use 4 ns in this example? I can't relate it to the timing diagram that is shown.



thanks and best regards, Karel



That's probably a typo. The latest PDF guide below shows that it is -4 (note the negative sign).
