Hi,
In a project we use ALTLVDS_RX (9 channels, de-serialization factor=6) in a Cyclone IV GX FPGA.
If my understanding is correct:
- SERDES is implemented in LE (with DDIO)
- DPA is not available for this family
- SDC constraints are required on the interface
I made a simple design with just the ALTLVDS_RX (PLL inside). Data rate is 720Mbps, clock rate is 360MHz (data transmitted in DDR mode), datas are center aligned so I configure phase clock to 0°.
I added input delay constraints in the SDC based on the Tco min/max provided by the datasheet of the component that interfaces to the SERDES.
During compilation I get those warnings:
Warning (176441): The I/O pin ads_data[0] cannot meet the timing constraints due to conflicting requirements. The I/O pin is a PLL compensated I/O, but the setup/hold requirements are in conflict with the source PLL mode(source synchronous or ZDB).
Can anyone explains?
Best regards,
Gauthier
