3. Quartus® Prime Software Support

The Quartus® Prime design software supports the automotive-grade devices in the automotive temperature range. The Quartus® Prime software provides a comprehensive environment for SoC design. It also includes HDL and schematic design entry, compilation and logic synthesis, full simulation and advanced timing analysis, Signal Tap logic analyzer, and device configuration.

To target an automotive-grade device in your design in the Quartus® Prime software, follow these steps:

  1. Click Assignments > Device. The Settings dialog box appears.
  2. In the Family drop-down list, select your device.
  3. Under Target device, select Specific device selected in ‘Available devices’ list.
  4. In the Available devices list, select the appropriate ordering code.
    Note: The Quartus® Prime software does not show the “N” suffix, which indicates a lead-free device. For example, the 5CGXFC3B6U15A7N device is shown only as 5CGXFC3B6U15A7.
  5. Click OK.

The following automotive-grade devices are from the legacy device families and are not recommended for new automotive designs.
