Improves design timing closure and reduces design compilation times up to 70 percent. Supports
team-based design.
Eases the process of assigning and managing pin assignments for high-density and high pin-count designs.
Automates adding, parameterizing, and linking IP cores—including embedded processors, coprocessors,
peripherals, memories, and user-defined logic.
Lets you construct your system-level design using IP cores from Altera’s megafunction library and from
Altera’s third-party IP partners.
Allows for FPGA prototypes and HardCopy ASICs to be designed in parallel using the same design software
and IP.
Supports command-line operation and Tcl scripting, as well as GUI design.
Maximizes your productivity by reducing your compilation time by 50 percent on average (for a small design
change after a full compile). Improves design timing preservation.
Uses post placement-and-route delay knowledge of a design to improve performance.
Increases performance by automatically iterating through combinations of Quartus II software settings to
find optimal results.
Provides unmatched support for cross-probing between verification tools and design source files.
Provides design-specific advice to improve design timing performance, resource usage, and
power consumption.
Reduces verification time (while maintaining timing closure) by enabling small, post placement-and-route
design changes to be implemented in minutes.
Provides native Synopsys Design Constraint (SDC) support and allows you to create, manage, and analyze
complex timing constraints and quickly perform advanced timing verification.
Supports the most channels, fastest clock speeds, largest sample depths, and most advanced triggering
capabilities available in an embedded logic analyzer.
Enables you to accurately analyze and optimize both dynamic and static power consumption.
Offers EDA software support for synthesis, functional and timing simulation, static timing analysis, board-level
simulation, signal integrity analysis, and formal verification. To see a complete list of partners, follow the link:
