Quartus® II design software delivers the highest productivity and performance for FPGAs, SoCs, and CPLDs, and offers numerous optimization features to enhance the design process:

  • Incremental compilation: optimization
  • Physical synthesis
  • Design Space Explorer
  • Optimization Advisor

To view the following videos, please use IE version 6.0 or later.

Incremental Compilation: Optimization

View Video
  • Provides the most productive incremental design methodology for high-density FPGAs
  • Reduces design compilation times by up to 70 percent
  • Improves timing closure by allowing you to target design optimization
  • Preserves performance in partitions by leaving them untouched
  • Offers easy-to-use, industry-first features
