Problem with ALTPLL

I use a ATLPLL IP In my design. This PLL has one input clock and one output clock.

The input clock is 62.5MHz. The PLL outputs an inverted clock.

I expected the clock max skew from inclk0(62.5MHz) to c0(inverted) is 0.5ns.

The post-sim waveform shows the skew is 10.7ns.

The ALTPLL's connections as below:

DPLL U_DPLL(

.inclk0 (clk_62M ),

.c0 (clk_62M_inv),

.locked (locked )

);

What's wrong with my design?

Any and all help is very much appreciated

    I have changed the PLL settings, but the problem is still exist.

    My PLL current settings:

    1. Use the feedback path inside the PLL

    2. In normal mode

    3. The source synchronous compensation mode si disabled by Quartus II

    The c0 is used internal.

    Thanks

    I believe Cris suggets to set it to source synchronous mode instead of normal mode (tick the selection just under normal mode)

    The option In source-synchronous compensation mode is disabled by Quartus II.

    I can not tick the selection.

    My device is Cyclone.

    Thanks
