Chapter 1: HardCopy IV Device Family Overview
1–15
Software Support and Part Number Information
■ Slew-rate support with up to four settings to match the desired I/O standard,
control noise, and overshoot
■ Output-current drive strength support with up to four settings to match desired
I/O standard performance
■ Output-delay support to control rise and fall times and adjust duty cycle,
compensate for skew, and reduce simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise
■ Dynamic OCT with auto-calibration support for series and parallel OCT and
differential OCT support for LVDS I/O standard on the left and right banks
1 The supported settings for slew-rate control, output-current drive strength, and
output-delay control are mask-programmed into the HardCopy IV devices and
cannot be changed after the silicon is fabricated.

Software Support and Part Number Information
This section describes HardCopy IV device software support and part number
information.
Software Support
HardCopy IV devices are supported by the Altera Quartus II design software, which
provides a comprehensive environment for system-on-chip (SOC) design. The
Quartus II software includes HDL and schematic design entry, compilation and logic
synthesis, full simulation and advanced timing analysis, SignalTap^® II logic analyzer,
and device configuration.
f For more information about the Quartus II software features, refer to the Quartus II
Handbook.
The Quartus II software supports the Windows and Linux Red Hat operating
systems. You can obtains the specific operating system for the Quartus II software
from the Quartus II Readme.txt file or
http://www.altera.com/support/software/os_support/oss_index.html. It also
supports seamless integration with industry-leading EDA tools through the
NativeLink interface.
