进行FPGA设计，经常需要向其它芯片提供时钟，这时将涉及提供时钟反馈的问题,具体有没有高一点的好方法？ |
| [答：Ivan] |
During FPGA design, both the PLD itself and other device need clock
signal from outside. Our FPGA has PLL which can receive clock and output
it, which has several feedback circuit. These circuit will help you to
adjust the phase and frequency. You can also get the clock from clock chip
directly and don"t need to go through the FPGA as you like. |

贵公司的EPF10K30E手册上说，可以用它来构造双端口RAM但，我在实际的使用时发现，它并不能支持标准的端口，用它构建的双断口延时长达3个时钟周期，请问我应该怎么用它来构建标准的双端口RAM。谢谢！ |
| [答：Dawson] |
EPF10K30E的EAB(专门的存储单元)能支持简单的双端口的RAM(分开的读写地址和读写使能控制),如要实现真双端口的RAM,它会用多个EAB组合实现.CYCLONE器件具有我们最先进的RAM功能,能很好的支持真双端口功能. |

FPGA设计低电压集成电路时应注意什么？ |
| [答：Jing] |
There are quite a few things to be considered when doing an FPGA
design. For example, physically, you should consider the the
i/o standards(lvttl, lvds, lvcmos, etc), core voltgae of your
board. Logically, you should consider what fmax your design
should be, how many resources you would use (e.g. Logic Elements, RAM
blocks, I/O"s), how many clock domains you would have and how you should
design your clock scheme, etc. In the perspective of design
guidelines, you should avoid asynchronous paths in FPGA design; well name
your design modules according to their functionaly as well as their clock
scheme. This is very helpful in the design optimization stage,
since you can easily find the nodes and add logic
assignments. One key thing is FPGA design is you should be
familiar with timing calculations, e.g. Fmax, Tsu, Tco,
Thold. You should also be aware that timing is both affected by
logic levels and place&route. These are only some of the
considerations for your reference. There are much more that
cannot simply be answered here. |

什么是Cyclone 器件系列？ |
| [答：Ivan] |
Altera's new Cyclone device family is the world's lowest-cost FPGA.
Designed to make the benefits of programmable logic more accessible to a
broader market, Altera developed Cyclone devices specifically for
high-volume applications that previously were driven by cost pressures to
standard products or ASICs. The Cyclone device family has the perfect mix
of features, density, and performance at less than $1.50 per 1,000 logic
elements (LEs)-half the cost of competing FPGAs. Finally, system designers
building high-volume applications in the consumer, communications,
computer peripheral, industrial, and automotive markets now have access to
the flexibility, economic efficiencies, and time-to-market advantages of
programmable logic. With densities ranging from 2,910 to 20,060 logic
elements (LEs), Cyclone devices are optimized for maximum logic capacity
at the lowest cost. Cyclone devices feature up to 288-Kbits of embedded
memory, phase-locked loops (PLLs), and support for external memory
interfaces and differe |
[2003-5-15 11:07:19] |
| [问：apple

设计Cyclone器件系列有什么准则? |
| [答：Ivan] |
Altera included hundreds of customers from different market segments
in the product definition process to identify price threshold, features,
and performance required to address high-volume applications. In addition,
Altera used a ground-up approach to design the Cyclone device family,
using the same methodology that was used to define the Stratix™ device
family. The result is Cyclone: the lowest cost FPGA ever with right mix of
device capabilities. |

You can use .bdf as the top project file that could be more convenient
to view all your project structure. But use HDL to make design could be
easier to interface to third party tools. But even use BDF file, our QII

Both FPGA and CPLD are programmable logic devices that can be used in
all fields (e.g. market segments such as wireless & wired
communication, consumer, industry, and automotive. However, their
architecture is very different, FPGA is LUT based and CPLD is macrocell
based. Its usage depends on the application. For example CPLD is normally
used for combinatorial logic designs such as address decoding or simple
logic control designs. |

为什么说，Cyclone器件系列很适合代替ASIC？ |
| [答：Ivan] |
Cyclone devices enable the development of new, programmable solutions
in volume-driven applications where FPGAs were once considered too
expensive. ASICs have high non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs,
expensive design tools, and significant overall risk in bringing products
to market in a timely manner. The historical price gap between a FPGA and
an ASIC meant that a customer could recover the ASIC NRE charges at
volumes near 10,000 units. The crossover point is anywhere from 100,000
units to 5 million units. Now system designers have access to the benefits
of programmable logic-at ASIC prices. |

For low density DSP processor control signals distribution, address
decoding, use CPLD. For complex DSP processor interfacing with

coprocessing function, FPGA is more suitable as it can implement more DSP
related fucntions such as mulitplier, accumulator, shift-register,

在用到Cyclone器件时，遇到这样一个问题，在register-to-regiser
Fmax中，如果两个寄存器的时钟是由同一个时钟不同分频得到的，他就会提示clock skew>data

| [答：Rock] |
再多时钟设计中,要在软件中做相应设置.在你的设计中,你首先要设置base clock(分频前的时钟)和derived
clock(分频后).具体设置见:assignmeng->timing
settings->clock.对于一个绝对时钟,quartus会在timing analysis
中报告他的Fmax,但两个不同时钟源的register 之间有path,在timing analysis
中就会报告skew,而没有Fmax.关于skew的意义,你可以从2rd register 的tsu 和th 参数入手. |

you want.though some fpga such as Cycone have internal oscillator,but it
not for generall purpose ,it is only for fpga configuration. |

对MAX7000系列与ACEX系列，ACEX系列要用EPC，在可编程接线JTAG上有什么不同 |
| [答：Edgar] |
Since JTAG is a standard, therefore, there are not much
differences. Regarding EPC, since MAX is built by EEPROM
technology, and ACEX is built by SRAM technology. MAX will not lose its
contents after power down, but ACEX will lose its contents after power
down. EPC is a flash-like device to store the contents for ACEX
during power-down and EPC will configure the ACEX after power-up. |

请问：Nios软嵌入RISC处理器在功能和开发上与一般的RISC处理器相比有那些优势，真的能吸引开发人员转向它吗？ |
| [答：Edgar] |
NIOS has the following advantages compare to standalone
processor: 1. NIOS is a soft core, can be ported to
future FPGA architectures and will not stop production (other standalone
will stop production). 2. NIOS provides wide variety of
periphrals and customer can pick and choose different combinations and
types of peripherals they really needed. e.g. 1 customer wants 20 UARTs, 1
MAC and a SDRAM controller, standalone processor cannot provide
this. NIOS is much more
FLEXIBLE. 3. NIOS can use FPGA logics for
hardware acceleration. i.e. user can built hardware
acceleration with FPGA core logics and these logics can be called by the
NIOS processor as a "Custom Instruction", hence dramatically increase the
overal system performance. 4. System designer don"t
need to worry about software / hardware partition early in the
cycle. During the middle of the design cycle, if system
designer discovered that the software / hardware combination cannot meet
performance, they can re-arrange some proessing using FPGA hardware easily
(such as using NIOS "Custom Instruction" hardware
acceleration). Or if a system designer discovered that that the
software / hardware combination is an overkill of the current requirement,
they can lower cost system cost by assigning some hardware processing
using software instead. In summary, NIOS has much more
flexibility than standalone processor. Regarding the
development with NIOS, in terms of software, it is much the same as
standalone processor. In terms of its hardware architecture,
Altera provide an easy to use SOPC builder where customer can pick and
choose different options in an easy-to-use interface and the SOPC builder
will generate the NIOS hardware in the FPGA for you. |

| [答：Jing] |
Our latest and greatest FPGA"s are Stratix and
Cyclone. They all have different speed grades, C5, C6 and C7
for Stratix, and C6, C7 and C8 for Cyclone. Lower number means
a faster device. Please try compile your design with these two
devices to see if your fmax can be met. To achieve the best
result, a key guideline, is you should specify all your timing requirments
in QuartusII. The timing requirements should be precise and
specific. For example if you have 2 clock domains, one at
100Mhz, the other 200Mhz, then you should make tell QuartusII which clock
is running @100Mhz, and which is @200Mhz. Avoid just specify
200Mhz for both clocks. Also, it"s the same for i/o timings,
e.g. tsu and tco. If you don"t have i/o timing requirement,
then don"t specify any, if you have i/o timing requirement, then specify
specifically. You could also use LogicLock feature in QuartusII
to bundle critical paths or critical module together so that their delay
would be minimized. Please refer to this document for further
details: http://www.altera.com/literature/an/an297.pdf For simulation
software, I can only tell you that what software we"ve seen engineers
using, since they all have their strengths and weakness. Some
of this softwares are: For PC, ModelSim and ActiveHDL; for UNIX, VCS, VSS,
and VerilogXL. Please also check the following URL, where I

The basic difference between cpld and fpga are: 1. cpld is eeprom
based, so it doesn"t loose programming file upon power-off, while fpga
needs to be programmed at each power-up2. cpld is usually small in
logic density and simple features, typically used for simple control
logic, power management or i/o expansion. Fpga can reach very high logic
density, and supple advanced features such as pll, rams, dsp, advanced
i/o"s such as differential and referenced-voltaged i/o"s, so they can

Not necessarily, normal logics can drive DFF in the CPLD, however,
user has to be carefully with the extra clock skew induced by normal
logics routing. Global clock is still the best to ensure
minimum amount of clock skew. Recent survey from customer (we
have > 14000 customer worldwide) is that most circuities can occupy
over 90% of the chip"s resouces. This is mainly due to the
constant improvement of our software routing algorithm in our Quartus II
software. |

用FPGA设计的DSP与产品化的DSP如TMS320VC5402PGE100相比有何优劣？ |
| [答：Bill] |
FPGA设计的DSP模块一个嵌入在fpga之中的ipcore，只能实现某个特定的DSP功能，不象TMS320是一个处理器可以用软件来实现不同的dsp算法，所以，用FPGA实现DSP可以提供近似于纯硬件实现的性能，在你需要修改的时候也可以在FPGA上做一些修改而不用改动电路，虽然TMS320可以很灵活的改动其功能，但是性能远远不如FPGA实现的DSP。 |

请问Cyclone系列和传统的低成本ACEX系列器件相比有何不同 |
| [答：Rock] |
they are different in process and architecture.Cyclone is based on
0.13u and ACEX is based on 0.22u-result in lower cost.Cyclone"s
architecture is superior to ACEX,result in higher performance . |

如何得到ALTERA公司提供的IP核？用户有没有可能自己编写IP核？用什么工具编写？ |
| [答：Rock] |
you can download it form Altera website for evaluation purpose,then
you can decide to buy it or not.you can also write your own IP core ,but
you must encrypt it by your self.the later version Quartus may help you in
building your personal IP core. |

能否介绍一下HardCopy？如何实现？成本和Cyclone相比如何? |
| [答：Edgar] |
HardCopy is the convertion of FPGA to ASIC chip, unused routings in
the FPGA are taken out to reduce the chip die size, hence lower the chip
cost. Altera will handle the whole convertion
process. Customer just need to finish the design of the
selected FPGA that support HardCopy and give Altera the netlist for the
conversion. For more info:
http://www.altera.com/products/devices/hardcopy/hrd-index.html HardCopy
is more for high-density FPGA such as Stratix. Cyclone is
already at the price point and density level that can directly compete
with wide range of ASIC density hence no HardCopy is needed for
Cyclone. In summary, HardCopy addresses high-density,
middle-to-high volumn applications, whereas, Cyclone addresses
middle-to-low density, high volumn applications. |
