Analyzing Synthesis Results with

the Technology Map Viewer

The Quartus II Technology Map Viewer provides a low-level, or atom-level,

technology-specific schematic representation of a design. To run the

Technology Map Viewer for a Quartus II project, you must first perform

Analysis & Synthesis or perform a full compilation. After you have

successfully performed Analysis & Synthesis, you can display the

Technology Map Viewer window by choosing Technology Map Viewer

(Tools menu). The Technology Map Viewer includes a schematic view, and

also includes a hierarchy list, which lists the instances, primitives, pins, and

nets for the entire design netlist. See Figure 9.
