Why does my Cyclone® PLL or my Stratix/Stratix® GX Fast PLL implement incorrect negative phase shift delays in the Quartus® II software version 2.2 SP1 and earlier?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description When generating a configuration file using the Quartus II software version 2.2 SP1 and earlier, a negative phase delay may be incorrectly implemented.

As a workaround, you can toggle the PLL enable pin after the device is powered-up. This will clear the PLL and force the correct phase delays. Once the PLL re-locks, it will exhibit the correct delay for all settings.

This was fixed in the Quartus II software version 2.2 SP2.
