Error (10528): VHDL error at <filename>(): value "<number>" is outside the target constraint range (0 to 2147483647)

The Quartus® II software generates this error when synthesizing VHDL code that assigns a value greater than 153 minutes using the time datatype. In the Quartus II software, the time datatype is represented as a signed 64-bit integer, and  therefore numbers greater than 2^63 femtoseconds (fs) cannot be represented.

For example:

constant TIME_B:      time := 1 sec; 
constant TIME_C:      time := 154 min; 
constant MY_CONST_failed:   natural := (TIME_C/TIME_B);

To work around this limitation in the Quartus® II software, ensure the time datatype is within the 2^63 fs maximum limit.
