CHAPTER 7: SIMULATION
SIMULATING DESIGNS WITH EDA TOOLS
ALTERA CORPORATION INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ■ 135
In the Quartus II software, the information for specific device architecture
entities and Altera-specific megafunctions is located in postrouting atom-
based timing simulation libraries. The timing simulation library files differ
based on device family and whether you are using Verilog Output Files or
VHDL Output Files. For VHDL designs, Altera provides VHDL Component
Declaration files for designs with Altera-specific megafunctions.
sgate.v
sgate.vhd
sgate_pack.vhd
Simulation models for Altera-specific megafunctions
and Intellectual Property functions
stratixgx_mf.v
stratixgx_mf.vhd
Libraries that contain simulation models for Stratix GX
designs that contain the altgxb megafunction.
For Verilog designs, you must compile the 220model.v
and sgate.v simulation model libraries (in that order)
before compiling this library
For VHDL designs, you must compile the
220pack.vhd, 220model.vhd, sgate_pack.vhd, and
sgate.vhd simulation model libraries (in that order)
before compiling these libraries.
