11 years ago --- Quote Start --- ... it generates a WARNING telling me to use a dedicated PLL output pin. --- Quote End --- If I recall correctly, the Quartus warning is that using a non-dedicated PLL output may result in more jitter. Your design will likely still work correctly. --- Quote Start --- How do I connect a dedicated PLL output pin to R25? --- Quote End --- You can't. The PLL output pins needed to be assigned when the PCB was designed. --- Quote Start --- How do I find what the PLL output pin(s) are being used? --- Quote End --- After synthesizing the design, open the pin planner (Assignments->Pin Planner). Look for the PLL output pins in that view. You can also download the pinout PDF for the specific Cyclone 2 package you are using, and find the PLL output pins in that PDF, and then look at the Pin Planner view to see where they are located.
