15 years agousing lvds
G´day !! I´m using an ADC with differential output (LVDS). It´s a device including 8 ADCs with Serial LVDS output. Data from each ADC is serialized and provided on a seperate channel. This seri...

14 years ago --- Quote Start --- I didn't yet observe the reported warning and don't know why it's generated in your design. May be it's due to the ad_in2_tmp wire signal. Actually Cyclone IV uses LE registers for ddio_in, so the warning is irrelevant in any case. You should primarly look for succesful timing closure and first of all correct operation of actual hardware design. --- Quote End --- Thx for ur reply. Shortly, I have two questions as follow:
- Could the input of ALTDDIO_IN connect the I/O input signal directly? Or the input of ALTDDIO_IN should connect particular I/O pin? When I connect I/O pin to ALTDDIO_IN directly, I got the following Warning.
Warning (176225): Can't pack node ad_ddio_in:inst_ad_ddio_in|altddio_in:ALTDDIO_IN_component|ddio_in_1di:auto_generated|input_cell_l to I/O pin - I don't know if I should source synchronize the AD data clock(DCO) and the AD output(ad_in2). If I use a PLL to creat a clock(dco_clk) in source synchronous mode, I should do PLL compensation in Assignment Editor, or I will get this warning.
So I added the following codes and the above warning dispears.Warning (15062): PLL "ad_pll:inst_ad_pll|altpll:altpll_component|ad_pll_altpll:auto_generated|pll1" in Source Synchronous mode with compensated output clock set to clk is not fully compensated because it does not feed an I/O input register
But in this way, I can only get the partial data of (ad_in2) because it's DDR output. So I don't know what should I do to figure this out.Could u give me some suggestions plz?process(dco_clk) begin if(rising_edge(dco_clk)) then ad_in2_reg <= ad_in2; end if; end process;
