clock gate cell and constrains

​I'm using ARRIA10 FPGA, RTL Latch based gate clock have to be used because there is no enough gate clock cells ALTCLKCTRL

in this FPGA. the RTL gate cell is shown below.

always @(*)

if(~clk_in) q = clk_en;

assign clk_out = clk_in& q;

If the gate clock is identified by Quartus, does it need constrain to check it? if yes, what the clock constrain looks like?

Thanks

Vincent

    Hi, You can mentioned it in the SDC file, normally the IO pin that is chose is recommended to dedicated clock pin
