You may see this error in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Software when implementing a transceiver (XCVR) fractional PLL (fPLL) in Intel® Arria® 10 devices with both Enable downstream cascaded PLL and Operation Mode set to Feedback Compensation Bonding in the fPLL intellectual property (IP) GUI.
To avoid this error, refer to the Intel® Arria® 10 Device Datasheet and ensure that the input frequency of the fPLL is within the minimum and maximum fCASC_PFD specification (Table 30) and the output frequency is equal to or above the Supported Output Frequency (Table 19).
