13 years agoYour design does not seem safe from timing view point. The ADC clock of 250MHz should not have been supplied from the fpga and the DCO should have used dedicated clock pin. I have been through a similar situation and I am afraid it might not work. One way around it is not to use that DCO, instead use an internal clock output from fpga PLL that emulates the DCO in phase and frequency including board delays and is locked to ADC clock.
Once DCO is safe then entering set_input_delay is straight forward as it represents maximum/minimum data offset from launching edges and there are examples in timequest resource centre.
