To add the .sdc into your Quartus II design file, follow these steps:
1. In the Quartus II software, click on the Assignments menu, and select Settings.

2. On the Settings page, under Category, select TimeQuest Timing Analyzer.

3. On the TimeQuest Timing Analyzer subwindow, browse to the .sdc, and click Add.

4. Click OK.
The following table lists the LVDS timing constraints options and descriptions.

Input Clock Constraints

rx_inclock

create_clock

Clock name

-name

Specifies the name of the

LVDS input clock.

Period

-period

Specifies the clock period

(1/f

max

).

Rising, Falling

-waveform

Specifies the clock's rising

and falling edges or the

duty cycle of the clock.

For example, a 10 ns

period where the first

rising edge occurs at 0 ns

and the first falling edge

occurs at 5 ns would be

written as waveform {0 5}.

The difference must be

within one period unit,

and the rise edge must

come before the fall edge.

The default edge list is {0

/2}, or a 50

percent duty cycle.

Target

[get_ports

{

name>}

]

Specifies the clock input

port name connected to

rx_inclock

.

Synchronous Input Port Constraints

Minimum,

Maximum

-max

-min

Specifies the maximum

and minimum delay for

the data input to the

FPGA.
