Arria V PLL

Hello,

I have a Timing delay problem with the ARRIA V device.

I have a 100Mhz clock input in a CLK<#>N (not CLK<#>P) pin which has NO dedicated connections to the PLL. And I am using the PLL in NORMAL MODE " An internal clock in normal mode is phase-aligned to the input clock pin".

  1. In general (when clock input is CLK<#>P), Can you explain what exactly the PLL compensate for in NORMAL MODE???

Does it compensate for the delay from clock I/O input delay to PLL input OR does it compensate for the delay from the PLL output to the Registers input ??

OR both of them ??

  1. In my case, clock input is in CLK<#>N (not CLK<#>P) pin which has NO dedicated connections to the PLL. I used a Mega Wizard CLOCK CONTROL IP In order to rout CLK<#>N to PLL but this connection has a 9nsec .

What can I do to compensate this delay?

  1. I tried to change PLL phase shift in MEGAWIZARD but I still see the same delays in TIME QUEST. Can somebody explain this ??

Many thanks
