Arria V GX: Couldn't place LVDS outputs.

Hello, everyone.

I'm trying to implement 12 bits LVDS outputs in Arria V GX using Quartus II 13.1.

In the implementation, the altlvds_tx has 12 chunnels and the deserialization factor is 8 (that is, the input is tx_in[95..0]).

Simlations seems to work as I design.

However, errors below occur when I/O Assignment Analysis or Fitter executes.

**************************************************************

Error(175001):Could not place PLL LVDS output.

(Submessage)

How can I work around these errors?

I'd be happy if anyone give me some advice.
