Designing with Stratix II FPGAs and Quartus II Software

The Quartus® II software enables you to create and deliver Stratix® II designs with unmatched levels of performance and faster time-to-market. Along with a broad portfolio of design-ready intellectual property (IP) cores, Quartus II software and Stratix II FPGAs deliver the most comprehensive programmable logic solution in the industry.

The Leader in Productivity for High-Density FPGA Designs

Quartus II software enables the highest levels of productivity and the fastest path to design completion for high-density Stratix II FPGA designs. You can dramatically improve your productivity compared to traditional high-density FPGA design flows by using the following productivity-enhancing features:

The Leader in Performance for High-Density FPGA Designs

Quartus II software enables the highest levels of performance and the fastest path to design completion for high-density Stratix II FPGA designs. Quartus II software and Stratix II FPGAs offer a significant performance advantage compared to other high-density FPGA and software solutions:

  • Performance Benchmarks—Stratix II FPGAs and Quartus II software offer the highest performance in the industry.
  • Advanced Place-and-Route Algorithms—Offers the fastest push-button results in the industry.
  • Design Space Explorer (PDF)—Quartus II software's design space explorer script increases average design performance by 20 percent, automatically applying combinations of netlist optimizations and advanced Quartus II software compiler settings.
  • Physical Synthesis—Quartus II software's physical synthesis can re-wire logic connections, duplicate registers, and move registers to significantly improve overall circuit performance.
  • Nios® II Processor—Optimized to operate at over 200 MHz, the Nios II/f fast core processor is designed for maximum performance.

Only Parallel Development for FPGAs and ASICs

Only Quartus II software provides seamless migration between Stratix II FPGA designs and Hardcopy® II ASIC design. By enabling compilation for the HardCopy series ASICs, Quartus II software provides the only risk-free path to higher performance and lower device costs.
