Error detection latency is the major component of the total error mitigation latency. Error detection latency is a function of the device size and the underlying clock signals driving the processes involved, as these determine the Complete Scan time. It is also a function of the type of error and the relative position of the error with respect to the position of the scan process, at the time the error occurs. The error detection latency can be bounded as follows:

Maximum error detection latency for detection by ECC is one Complete Scan Time
- This represents a highly unlikely case when an error at a given location occurs directly “behind” the scan process.
- It will take one Complete Scan Time for the scan process to return to the error location at which time it will detect it.
Maximum error detection latency for detection by CRC or SHA is 2.0 × Complete Scan Time
- This represents an extremely unlikely case when an error occurs directly “behind” the scan process and is located at the scan start location (where the checksum accumulation begins at each scan).
- It will take one Complete Scan Time for the scan process to complete the current checksum accumulation (which will pass) and then a second Complete Scan Time to complete a checksum accumulation which includes the error (which will fail).

When a CFRAME error is detected, a task is added to PLM scheduler for error validation, correction and notification. The time for correction and notification depends on other requests which PLM has already been processing. The time also depends on the secure data size and secure operation. The following table lists the timing for different secure operations and power management tasks.

Table 4. PLM requests processing time
Example PLM Requests/Tasks¹	Processing Time (Approximate)
Optional NPI Scan (varies by resource utilization)	15 ms
Secure Data Request Authentication (RSA) Xsecure_RsaPublicEncrypt_64bit	1.87 ms
Secure Data Request Authentication (RSA) Xsecure_RsaPrivateDecrypt_64bit	91.13 ms
Secure Data Request Authentication (ECDSA-P384) Xsecure_EllipticVerifySign_64bit	6.31 ms
Secure Data Request Authentication (ECDSA-P521) Xsecure_EllipticVerifySign_64bit	14.56 ms
Secure Data Request, SHA, 100 Kb (varies by size)	0.17 ms
Secure Data Request, AES, 100 Kb (varies by size)	0.77 ms
Power Management Requests (estimated)	1 ms

¹ DFX activity requires XilSEM scan to be stopped (same as Legacy SEM IP core) to avoid scan interference with each other. Clock management request estimates are pending, time is assumed short.
