Is there an issue when simulating the Altera_PLL megafunction when entering phase shift in degrees?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Yes, there is an issue when simulating the Altera_PLL megafunction when entering phase shift in degrees using the simulation models that are generated in the Quartus® II software version 12.0.

If you enter the phase shift in degrees, you will not see the correct phase shift in the ModelSim-Altera simuation result.

Phase shift entry in degrees is first supported in the Altera_PLL megafunction in the Quartus II software version 12.0.

Resolution

In order to obtain the correct phase shift, you need to need to enter the phase shift a in time interval period. Or you could change the coding in the megawizard .v file as shown below:

<instance name>.phase_shift0 = <time unit>,
to
<instance name>.phase_shift0 = <"time unit ps">,

This issue will be fixed in a future version of the Quartus II software.
