Timing Analysis
The Quartus II software does not automatically generate the SDC timing constraints for Altera GPIO IP
core. You must manually enter the timing constraints. This section provides simple instructions and
examples on how to timing constrain the Altera GPIO IP core to ensure that the TimeQuest Timing
Analyzer analyzes the I/O timing correctly.
