Why does my fractional PLL with the reconfiguration feature enabled fail to lock in Stratix V devices?

Environment

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

    Due to a problem in Quartus® II versions 11.1SP2 and earlier, fractional PLLs implemented with the Altera® PLL IP and attached Altera PLL reconfig IP may fail to lock when implemented in certain locations on Stratix® V devices. 

    An additional symptom is that the mgmt_waitrequest signal is always asserted.

    Resolution

    If PLLs with reconfiguration are used on Stratix V devices, use version 12.0 or later of the Quartus II software.
