Altium Adds Support for Latest Quartus II Release to Nexar.SYDNEY, Australia -- Altium Limited Altium or Altium Limited is Australian CAD/CAE software company, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX code: ALU). The company was founded in 1985 in Hobart, Tasmania, to fill a need in the electronics industry for easy to use, PC-based ECAD software. (ASX ASX See: Australian Stock Exchange :ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) The high-speed CPU circuit that does calculating and comparing. Numbers are transferred from memory into the ALU for calculation, and the results are sent back into memory. Alphanumeric data are sent from memory into the ALU for comparing. ), a leading developer of Windows-based electronics design software, today announced that its Nexar system design software has been updated to support v4.2 of Altera Corporation's Quartus(R) II development software. Nexar is a complete FPGA-based digital design system and supports a wide range of Altera(R) Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs). Taking advantage of the Quartus II Quartus II is a software tool produced by Altera for analysis and synthesis of HDL designs. Quartus II enables the developer to compile their designs, perform timing analysis, examine RTL diagrams and configure the target device with the programmer. v4.2 software's industry-leading synthesis and place-and-route technology, Nexar customers can achieve the highest possible performance when using Altera devices in their designs. Nexar allows the interactive development of complete systems, including processor-based designs, on an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. platform. The Nexar design methodology -- LiveDesign -- enables real-time communication with active devices in the circuit, such as processor cores and virtual instruments, that are running inside the target FPGA. Along with Altium's NanoBoard, a versatile FPGA development board that features swappable target devices housed on removable daughter boards, Nexar allows interactive, 'live' development and debugging of systems without the need for simulation at the system level, significantly reducing system development time. "Supporting Altera's Quartus II software ensures that our Nexar customers have access to the best place-and-route and synthesis technology so that they can get the most out of their Altera FPGA-based designs," said Nick Martin, Joint CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and founder of Altium. James Smith, director of EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. vendor relations at Altera Corporation, said "Altium's support for the Quartus II development software in its Nexar software demonstrates the growing success of Altera products across broad market segments. As the only development tool that supports FPGA, CPLD (Complex PLD) A programmable logic device that is made up of several simple PLDs (SPLDs) with a programmable switching matrix in between the logic blocks. CPLDs typically use EEPROM, flash memory or SRAM to hold the logic design interconnections. See PLD and SPLD. and structured ASIC designs, the Quartus II software allows Altium customers to easily target their prototyping and production solutions using our programmable logic devices." Pricing and availability Support for Altera's Quartus II v4.2 will be available with the release of Service Pack 2 from December 13, 2004, for free download from http://www.altium.com/downloads/2004SP2/ for all Nexar 2004 and Protel 2004 licenses. Nexar is priced at US$7,995 for a new license. A Unified Nexar-Protel 2004 software license is also available, providing complete FPGA-PCB systems development, and is priced at US$9,995. Protel 2004 users can upgrade their existing license to this system from US$2,995. Altium's NanoBoard is priced at US$995 and is currently delivered with two daughter boards including -- the Altera(R) Cyclone(TM). A wide range of additional daughter boards, including the Altera(R) Stratix(TM) with SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory , Altera(R) Cyclone(TM) with SRAM and the Altera(R) Max(R) 3000/7000 devices, are also available. For developers wanting to evaluate Nexar, LiveDesign Evaluation Kits are now available and prices start from US$49.
