Chapter 1: Overview for the Stratix IV Device Family
Integrated Software Platform
1–19
Integrated Software Platform
The Quartus II software provides an integrated environment for HDL and schematic
design entry, compilation and logic synthesis, full simulation and advanced timing
analysis, SignalTap II Logic Analyzer, and device configuration of Stratix IV designs.
The Quartus II software provides the MegaWizard^ Plug-In Manager user interface to
generate different functional blocks, such as memory, PLL, and digital signal
processing logic. For transceivers, the Quartus II software provides the ALTGX
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager interface that guides you through configuration of the
transceiver based on your application requirements.
The Stratix IV GX and GT transceivers allow you to implement low-power and
reliable high-speed serial interface applications with its fully reconfigurable
hardware, optimal signal integrity, and integrated Quartus II software platform.
f For more information about the Quartus II software features, refer to the Quartus II
Handbook.
