timing_error_for_pll_afi_clock_on_ddr3_ip_controller

Hi Team,

  I am checking the design with ddr3 interface, nios processor and other interfaces also in cyclone v gx device(5CGXFC5C6F27C7). I have given memory clock as 400 Mhz(ddr3 ip parameter setting) and uses afi_clock(200 Mhz) to connect the clock of other interfaces.

pll_clock of ddr interface is 50 Mhz. connected from the osciallator in the board.

 Nios processor also connected with afi clock only (200 Mhz)

For this design , i am getting pll_afi_clock setup time violation.

i have attached the timing report. 

PLease give solution for this.

The setup violations showed in the report are all asynchronous path. You can use 'set clock group' constraint to eliminate the relationship between 'inst|ddr3|pll0|pll_dq_write_clk ' and 'dqs_n[3]_OUT'.

Hi Ting,

  I have added constraint for the clocks like you have mentioned, but still facing the timing violation error:

could you please give suggestions whether this constraints are okay?

You don't need to constraint all the clocks, just apply it to the clocks of asynchronous path( the launch and latch clock ).

BTW you can try to apply the following constraint:

'derive_pll_clocks'

Hi ,

  I have tried with derive_pll_clock also. but still facing timing violation issue.

You mean the same violation still exits? Could you show the violation in the timing analyzer which is better to view.

BTW why you put the altera_reserved_tck in the group? I think you don't need to constraint it.

There are also synchronization path violation. Could you please provide your project for further analysis.

Hi there, I can't open timing analyzer with the project you provided. Could you provide the project which has completed the compilation process?

Please provide all the files of the project, and you can exclude you RTL(.v file) for confidentiality.

Try reduce the number of logic levels to 2-3 by adding pipeline register (this will add latency in your design).

As higher logic level will increase delay on the critical path.

Could you please provide your project (.qar) for investigation. You can remove all RTL files for confidentiality.

Thanks a lot.
