TMS570LC4357: RMII Ethernet transmit timing

Part Number: TMS570LC4357

Hi,

We are using TMS570LC4357 in our design and operating Ethernet in RMII mode clocked at 50MHz.

As per the transmit timing on page 209 of datasheet, the 'Output delay time, RMII_REF_CLK High to RMII_TXD valid' is given as 2ns (min) to 16ns (max).

Is this a valid clock to output delay for a 20ns clock period?  The question here arises is how can we meet setup time, when the clock to data output delay takes up 80% of the clock period.

Can you please confirm on this timing?

Regards,
