hi 

 

device is EP4CGX110DF23. refclk is connect REFCLK[0] of pin T9.altgx data rate is set to 3000Mbps. Set pin AC5,AD4,AB5,etc to connect GND. 

quaturs report a error:non-differential I/O pin ' ref-clk-reserved_gnd_AC5' in pin location AC5 is too close to pad 51 of differential I/O pin 'Lvds[4]' in pin location AE1 -- pads must be separeted by a minimum of 5 pads. 

 

what can i do ?

Generally you do the pin assignments before board layout to ensure you have met these placement rules. 

 

In the case of a development kit where you do not have a choice, you make a judgement call and override the rule using an I/O toggle rate assignment. 

 

I think this is the constraint you need (if its not, its something like this ...)

Hi, this error message is because you are placing the non-differential io standard too close the differential io standard. 

you can refer to the following link as reference
