PLL_FORCE_OUTPUT_COUNTER_HARDCOPY_REPLAY
PLL_FORCE_OUTPUT_COUNTER_HARDCOPY_REPLAY
Type
Forces which counter to use for a particular PLL clock output. By default, the
Compiler automatically determines the best counter to use based on clock usage and
other routing conflicts, but can be overridden with this option. Using this option can
cause clock routing problems, as the clock router cannot rotate counters to resolve
conflicts. Also refer to option “PRESERVE_PLL_COUNTER_ORDER” on page 6–272.
