Close Timing Faster with Quartus II Software
Design to win! The Quartus® II software enables designers to balance multiple design constraints easily by including the most technologically advanced timing closure tools and features. Altera also provides comprehensive documentation to guide the design optimization process.
The Quartus II software timing closure methodology helps designers meet timing requirements on all clocks in a design with fewer iterations. Altera is the first programmable logic supplier to develop and deliver a timing closure methodology as an integrated part of its existing tools suite at no additional cost. As shown in Figure 1, the Quartus II timing closure methodology enables close interaction between synthesis, timing analysis, floorplan editing, and place-and-route processes to balance multiple design constraints, including multiple clocks, routing resources, and area constraints to meet complex timing requirements easily. Commonly used in multi-million gate ASIC designs, methodologies for timing closure have been validated as a fundamental requirement for highly complex digital designs.
