Stratix V timing constraints?

Hi, 

 

I am trying to read data from a simple 8 channel 12 bit ADC using a Stratix V Gx dev kit. 

 

Bitclock 480MHz 

Frame Clock 80MHz 

 

I try using source synchronous PLL megafunction for the bitclock and use the DDIO megafunction for reading the data. 

 

But I can't meet timing. 

 

I have checked rd07222013_432 (http://www.altera.com/support/kdb/solutions/rd07222013_432.html)solution already. But this patch doesn't fix my timing. 

 

If i try the same PLL/DDIO on a stratix IV gx dev kit, I can meet timing constraints. But the Stratix V fails.. 

 

Is there something quirky with the Stratix V? 

I'm guessing if simple DDIO doesn't work, ethernet/ddr3/pci express are a long shot.. 

 

Anybody else in the same boat as me? 

 

I have submitted a service request.. Lets see. 

 

Thanks
