16 years agoPLL of LVDS Clocking the Whole Design - SOPC Custom Component
Hi, I am designing custom SOPC components for my board. One of those components is a controller for a fast ADC (2 x 1.6 GHz). Inside this component I have an ALTLVDS. So, I have the following c...

16 years agoYour design looks OK.
Top of my head: You need to set a constraint for each clock at least. But you can just use the "derive_pll_clocks" command to set constraints for each of the PLL generated clocks. A 400 MHz clock input is only supported if it's LVDS and it's the the maximum limit, at least for some devices. Is your ADC_CLK a LVDS signal? Does your device support a 400 MHz clock input? More than that, you'll need to check the paths that are failing to meet the constraints.
