Intel: Non-clock signal pll_lock_sync was reported in Unconstrained Paths => Clock Status Summary in Timing Analysis for designs with MAX® 10 PLLs. This signal is the Locked signal of the PLL, but why was it recognized as a clock?
Category: Timing Constraint/Analysis
Tools: Quartus® Prime
Device: MAX®10
It seems that the Timing Analyzer recognizes it as a clock by connecting the Locked signal of the PLL to the clock pin of the FF.
In this case, constraints that do not allow analysis, such as set_false_path, are invalid, so the design must be changed so that it is not connected to the FF clock.
