13 years agoHi, I am new to use Altera FPGA. I ran into a problem:
I am using a Cyclone III device, and need to assigne some LVDS differential signal. I have only "positive" signal i/o in my verilog ports and let Quartus II pin planner to create the "negative" signal for me. So for my signal - MYSIG on A18, I see MYSIG(n) created on B18 for me automatically. But when I run pin check, I see the error message: Error: Can't place differential I/O positive pin MYSIG at a differential negative location A18(PAD_437) Error: Can't place differential I/O negative pin MYSIG(n) at a differential positive location B18(PAD_438) Don't understand, why Altera create this negative signal for me, but complain there is an Error. Due to pin compatibility reason, I cannot change the pin out. Please help! Thanks, BZ
