13 years ago --- Quote Start --- Since all you are telling me that I need to constrain my design I will follow that. I thought I do not need to do it if frequency is low but probably I am wrong. --- Quote End --- Yes, you are wrong :) You have to have timing constraints on the clock(s) and the I/Os, so that the synthesis tool can make placement decisions related to the internal routing delays, and so that it can program the delay lines in the I/O elements (these delay lines are used to meet external setup and hold time requirements). Rysc has a tutorial on the Altera Wiki http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/timequest and this thread has a document I wrote when asking Rysc some questions: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31457 Cheers, Dave
