Hi All,
I am using the CycloneV device.
I use logiclock to fix placement position in the same LAB. But when I set different input delays, routing at the same position produces different results.
This path is the path directly from the I/O pad to the first register.
As shown in fig,
Is there any way that I can limit the delay range of this IC?
Best regards.

That's kind of the point of set_input_delay. The larger value you give for -max, the more time the router has to play with, so it may add more routing between the I/O and the input register. What is your goal here and what does your .sdc look like?

Hi sstrell,
Thank you for your help,
I have 12 different data input from 12 I/O pads, and they will enter 12 different input first register respectively.
I use logiclock to keep all registers close to their own I/O pads.
But the data delay of each path has a big gap, I want to know how can I make their values closer.
Best regards.

First of all, don't use Logic Lock. Rely on your set_input_delay constraints to have the registers placed close to the I/O by the Fitter. You could also use the Fast Input Register assignment to make use of the registers right in the I/O element. Second, there are some additional constraints (like set_data_skew I think) that you could use if you're trying to do matching. I'm not super familiar with using them so somebody else could chime in on that.

May I know if there is any update or concern on this?
Are you able to work on it?

Hi SyafieqS,
I still don't have any idea about the correct adjustment of the timing.
Quatus seems to synthesize paths that I think should have the same phenomenon into different delays.
So I'm going to look for other ways to fix this issue.
Thank you very much for your reply.
Best regards.
