Introduction
Altera Corporation
A-DS-MPLUS2-08
January 1998, ver. 8
Ideally, a programmable logic design environment satisfies a large variety
of design requirements: it should support devices with different
architectures, run on multiple platforms, provide an easy-to-use interface,
and offer a broad range of features. Moreover, a design environment
should give designers the freedom to use the design entry methods and
tools of their choice. The Altera
fully integrated programmable logic design environment that meets all of
these requirements.
The MAX+PLUS II design environment offers unmatched flexibility and
performance. The rich graphical user interface is complemented by
complete and instantly accessible on-line documentation, which makes
learning and using the MAX+PLUS II software quick and easy.
The MAX+PLUS II development system includes the following features:
Open Interfaces—Altera works closely with EDA manufacturers to
link the MAX+PLUS II software with other industry-standard design
entry, synthesis, and verification tools. The interfaces to EDA tools
comply with EDIF 2 0 0 and 3 0 0, library of parameterized modules
(LPM) 2.1.0, standard delay format (SDF) 1.0 and 2.0, VITAL 95,
Verilog HDL, VHDL 1987 and 1993, and other standards. The
MAX+PLUS II software interfaces allow designers to create a logic
design with Altera or standard EDA design entry tools, compile the
design for an Altera device with the MAX+PLUS II Compiler, and
perform device- or board-level simulation with Altera or other EDA
verification tools. The MAX+PLUS II software currently provides
interfaces to tools from Cadence, Exemplar Logic, Mentor Graphics,
Synopsys, Synplicity, Viewlogic, and others.
Architecture-Independence—The MAX+PLUS II software supports
Altera’s FLEX
MAX 5000, and Classic
offers the industry’s only truly architecture-independent
programmable logic design environment. The MAX+PLUS II
Compiler also provides powerful logic synthesis and minimization to
efficiently fit designs with minimal user effort.
