Error: Assertion error: OUTCLOCK_ALIGNMENT(90.00_DEGREES) is set to an illegal value

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

This error, or a similar error with a different phase setting, may be generated in the Quartus® II software versions 10.0 to 10.1 SP1 when implementing the ALTLVDS_TX megafunction under the following conditions:

  • The Use external PLL option is enabled.
  • The What is the phase alignment of 'tx_outclock' with respect to 'tx_out' option is set to a value other than 0° or 180°.

The only valid settings for this option are 0° or 180° when using the external PLL option in the ALTLVDS_TX megafunction. If you wish to use a phase shift for the tx_outclock other than 0° or 180°, create a fourth clock output port from the external PLL to achieve your desired phase shift.

Beginning with the Quartus II software version 11.0, invalid settings are not displayed in this drop-down list.
