ALTERA CORPORATION INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ■ 157
Performing Timing Analysis by
Using EDA Tools
The Quartus II software supports timing analysis and minimum timing
analysis using the Synopsys PrimeTime software on UNIX workstations and
board-level timing analysis using the Mentor Graphics
®
Tau board-level
verification tools.
You can generate the necessary output files for performing timing analysis
in EDA timing analysis tools by specifying the appropriate timing analysis
tool in the Timing Analysis and Board-Level pages under EDA Tool
Settings in the Settings dialog box (Assignments menu) or in the New
Project Wizard (File menu) when creating a project, and then performing a
full compilation. Figure 9 shows the Timing Analysis page under EDA Tool
Settings.
