3 years agoTimeQuest ALTPLL wrong setup relation
Hi,
recently I found some strange behaviour of timequest STA regarding simple design with PLL on Quartus Prime Lite. If there is simple data transfer between clock (i_CLK) and clock that's output ...

3 years agoHello,
Engineering has provided a solution. I will attach the .sdc file.
Please use this .sdc file in place of derive_pll_clocks.
You may receive a warning "PLL cross checking found inconsistent PLL clock settings." which you can ignore.
For future references, what I've done is:
- On Timing Analyzer, run derive_pll_clocks and then run write_sdc -expand myexpanded.sdc
- On the create_generated_clock -name {*|altera_pll_i|general[0].gpll~FRACTIONAL_PLL|vcoph[0]} add an offset so that the rising edge of this clock matches the rising edge of the base clock that feeds into the PLL.
