ModelSim-Altera Edition

ModelSim-Altera Edition software is licensed to support designs written in 100 percent VHDL and 100 percent Verilog language and does not support designs that are written in a combination of VHDL and Verilog language, also known as mixed HDL.

Mixed HDL support is available in the PE and SE versions of ModelSim from Mentor Graphics. ModelSim-Altera Edition only supports Altera gate-level libraries. The ModelSim-Altera Edition software includes all ModelSim PE features, including behavioral simulation, HDL testbenches, and Tcl scripting. However, ModelSim PE optional features are not supported in the ModelSim-Altera Edition software and the simulation performance of the ModelSim-Altera Edition software is slower than that of the ModelSim PE and SE software.

Main Features :

- Recommended for simulating all FPGA designs (Cyclone®, Arria®, and Stratix® series FPGA designs)
- 33 percent faster simulation performance than ModelSim®-Altera® Starter Edition
- Supports designs of up to 3,000 instances
- No line limitations
