May I know why you would like to use the Source synchronous mode?
Fyi, PLL compensation is not always needed. A PLL should be configured in direct (no compensation) mode unless a need for compensation is identified. Direct mode provides the best PLL jitter performance and avoids expending compensation clocking resources unnecessarily.
From the user guide link:
Although it states that the maximum frequency is 800 MHz for Input clock frequency:
Do note that *This specification is limited by the I/O maximum frequency. The maximum achievable I/O frequency is different for each I/O standard and is depends on design and system specific factors. Ensure proper timing closure in your design and perform HSPICE/IBIS simulations based on your specific design and system setup to determine the maximum achievable frequency in your system.
Additionally, could you check out this KDB article to see if it might be relevant to your case?https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000080391.html
Without a provided design, I may need some time to replicate the issue.

Hi, Richard Tan
I don't think so.
Now I used the 10ax115n2f45e1sg, its speed grade should be -1. And the timing violation is about the pll's feedback path under source synchronous mode. And I think this feedback path use global route, and in the datasheet, its max frequency of feedback path is 644Mhz, so I think it's root cause for this minimum pulse violation.
