FAST_OUTPUT_REGISTER
Implements an output register in a cell that has a fast, direct connection to an I/O pin. If such a fast, direct
connection to the I/O pin is not available in the I/O cell hardware, this option instructs the Fitter to lock
the output register in the LAB adjacent to the I/O cell it is feeding.Turning on the Fast Output Register
option can help maximize I/O timing performance, for example, by permitting fast clock-to-output times.
Turning this option off for a particular signal prevents the Fitter from implementing the signal
automatically in an I/O cell or locking down the output register in the LAB adjacent to the I/O cell. This
option is ignored if it is applied to anything other than a register or an output or bidirectional pin fed by a
register.
