Intel Quartus Prime Software Suite

The Intel Quartus Prime Software Suite is a design environment specifically developed for FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) devices. According to the vendor, this software suite offers a comprehensive set of tools for electrical engineers, FPGA designers, hardware engineers, and professionals in the semiconductor and telecommunications industries. It aims to empower designers to optimize, verify, and simulate their FPGA designs efficiently.

Key Features

RTL Analyzer: According to the vendor, the software allows users to view and analyze the Register Transfer Level (RTL) netlist, providing insights into the design structure and connectivity.

Sweep Hints Viewer: The vendor claims that this feature helps users identify the top reasons for objects being swept away during design optimization, enabling them to optimize the design and address potential issues.

Object Constraints Viewer: According to the vendor, this feature allows users to examine and analyze the constraints applied to different objects in the design, facilitating a better understanding of design constraints and their impact.

Object Set Console: The vendor states that this feature provides a console interface for browsing and analyzing design objects conveniently, allowing for efficient navigation and management of design elements.

SDC on RTL: According to the vendor, this feature enables users to apply Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC) directly on the RTL nets, providing greater control and flexibility in specifying design constraints.

Early Timing Analysis: The vendor claims that this feature allows designers to evaluate the timing performance of the design at an early stage, enabling the identification of potential timing violations and optimization opportunities.

IBIS Writer for Intel Agilex FPGA families: According to the vendor, this feature generates accurate IBIS models for Intel Agilex FPGA families, facilitating the simulation and analysis of signal integrity and electrical performance of FPGA I/Os.

Parameterizable macros for IOPLL and CDC IP: The vendor states that this feature offers customizable macros for Input/Output Phase-Locked Loop (IOPLL) and Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) Intellectual Property (IP), allowing designers to implement clock management and synchronization functionalities tailored to specific design requirements.
