Figure 4. Analysis & Synthesis Settings Page of Settings Dialog Box
The Quartus II logic options that are available on the Analysis & Synthesis
Settings page allow you to specify that the Compiler should optimize for
speed or area, or perform a “balanced” optimization, which attempts to
achieve the best combination of speed and area. It also provides many other
options, such as options that control the logic level for power-up, the
removal of duplicate or redundant logic, the replacement of appropriate
logic with DSP Blocks, RAM, ROM, open-drain pins, the encoding style for
state machines, the number of logic elements required to implement
multiplexers, and many other options that affect Analysis & Synthesis.
