Why does my Cyclone IV design have minimum pulse width violations related to the ALTINT_OSC megafunction?
Description
Due to a problem in the Quartus® II software versions 13.1 and earlier, the ALTINT_OSC megafunction incorrectly allows the clock to be set at 100MHz in the MegaWizard™ Plug-In Manager.This is incorrect as maximum operating frequency is 47MHz for Cyclone® IV devices.
Resolution
To work around this problem, make the following change to the automatically generated sdc file:
from:
create_clock -name osc_clock -period 10 [get_pins {<altint instance>|cycloneiii_oscillator1|clkout}]
to:
create_clock -name osc_clock -period 25 [get_pins {<altint instance>|cycloneiii_oscillator1|clkout}]
This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus II software.
