11 years agoI found the problem. I had instantiated altera_pll directly in VHDL code as previously altpll for Cyclone III.
But without setting a pll_subtype parameter to "DPS" and some other accompanying parameters, the dynamic phase shift ports are left unconnected without a warning. Unfortunately there's no altera_pll user manual with port and parameter documentation, only AN661 giving usage examples. Altera is apparently assuming that the new PLL IP is only implemented through Megawizard.
