Altera's Quartus II 6.0 Offers Integrated HDL Support for Aldec's Simulator
HENDERSON, Nev.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 9, 2006—
Aldec, Inc., a pioneer in mixed-language simulation and
advanced design tools for ASIC and FPGA devices, announced today that
its simulator now has integrated HDL support from Altera's Quartus II
version 6.0 development software environment. Mutual customers can now
select Aldec's HDL Simulator, Active-HDL(TM), directly from Altera's
Quartus II software version 6.0. The interface provides customers with
the ability to specify the format and location of functional and
timing simulation files in Quartus II software version 6.0. The
integration provides mutual customers with a seamless interface to
Active-HDL for quick HDL simulation set-up to support the increasingly
large and more complex FPGA devices being delivered from Altera.
"With the continued growth of our customer base in the FPGA market
and Altera's ever increasing device capacity, the natural progression
was product integration to provide our mutual customers with greater
productivity," stated Dave Rinehart vice president of marketing at
Aldec. "The complexity of FPGA designs continues to rise and the
integration of Aldec's core technology in HDL simulation combined with
the Altera's design tools provides customers with an even faster track
to their simulation results," Rinehart added.
"Our Quartus II software delivers a robust and comprehensive
programmable logic and structured ASIC design flow," said Jim Smith,
Altera's director of EDA relations. "Providing an interface to Aldec's
popular Active-HDL simulator will enable our mutual customers to
achieve even tighter integration between Aldec's tool and our
development environment - making our customers' jobs easier with a
seamless debugging solution."
