Why are the feedback clock and the output clock misaligned in External Feedback and Zero Delay Buffer (ZDB) modes?

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

When external feedback mode or Zero Delay Buffer is selected as the compensation mode in Stratix® V, Arria® V, and Cyclone® V devices, the output clock will not have the expected phase relationship with the feedback clock. 

This is due to the Quartus® II software making incorrect delay chain settings in version 13.0 and earlier.

 

 

Resolution

If external feedback or ZDB modes are required, please submit a request to Altera technical support via mySupport.
