SDC Timing Constraints
The Quartus II 12.1 software reports timing violations for asynchronous inputs to the
Standard PCS and 10G PCS. Because many violations are for asynchronous paths,
they do not represent actual timing failures. You may choose one of the following
three approaches to identify these false timing paths to the Quartus II or TimeQuest
software.
tx_std_bitslipboundarysel
[5<n>-1:0]
Input No
Bit-Slip boundary selection signal. Specifies the number of
bits that the TX bit slipper must slip.
rx_std_bitslipboundarysel
[5<n>-1:0]
Output No
This signal operates when the word aligner is in bit-slip word
alignment mode. It reports the number of bits that the RX
block slipped to achieve deterministic latency.
rx_std_runlength_err[<n>-
1:0]
Output No
When asserted, indicates a run length violation. Asserted if
the number of consecutive 1s or 0s exceeds the number
specified in the parameter editor GUI.
rx_st_wa_patternalign
Input No
Active when you place the word aligner in manual mode. In
manual mode, you align words by asserting
rx_st_wa_patternalign
.
rx_st_wa_patternalign
is
edge sensitive.
For more information refer to the Word Aligner section in the
Transceiver Architecture in Arria V Devices.
rx_std_wa_a1a2size[<n>-
1:0]
Input No
Used for the SONET protocol. Assert when the A1 and A2
framing bytes must be detected. A1 and A2 are SONET
backplane bytes and are only used when the PMA data width
is 8 bits.
rx_std_bitslip[<n>-1:0]
Input No
Used when word aligner mode is bit-slip mode. For every
rising edge of the
rx_std_bitslip
signal, the word
boundary is shifted by 1 bit. Each bitslip removes the earliest
received bit from the received data. You must synchronize
this signal.
Miscellaneous
tx_std_elecidle[<n>-1:0]
Input
When asserted, enables a circuit to detect a downstream
receiver. This signal must be driven low when not in use
because it causes the TX PMA to enter electrical idle mode
with the TX serial data signals in tri-state mode.
rx_std_signaldetect[<n>-
1:0]
Output No
Signal threshold detect indicator. When asserted, it indicates
that the signal present at the receiver input buffer is above
the programmed signal detection threshold value. You must
synchronize this signal.
