Intel: How do I manually specify the location of the PLL Intel FPGA IP?

Arria Cyclone Quartus Prime Stratix Clock/PLL

Category: Devices
Tools: Quartus® Prime Standard Edition, Quartus® Prime Lite Edition
Devices: Stratix® V, Arria® V, Cyclone® V

To manually locate the PLL Intel FPGA IP, use the Assignment Editor.

To column

Node Names for PLL Intel FPGA IP

Assignment Name field

Location

Value column

Location information to be placed

The selected node name differs depending on the Element name selected in the Value field.
Please refer to the table below and set the location of the PLL with one of the constraints.

In addition to searching with the Assignment Editor's Node Finder, there is another way to specify the PLL node name, which is to temporarily perform fitting, select the node name from the compile report, and specify the location in the Assignment Editor. . (Refer to the figure below)

Note that the V-series FPGA's built-in PLL has a correlation between the layout of the PLL reference clock pin and the location of the PLL (see figure below). Due to the structure of the device, it cannot be placed in a PLL that is not connected to a clock pin even if a location is specified.
