Design File Entry– Graphic Design File (*.GDF)

– Text Design Files (*.TDF)

– VHDL Design Files (*.VHD)

– EDIF Input Files (*.EDF)

– OrCad Schematic Files (*.SCH)

– Waveform Design Files (*.WDF)

You are allow to mix this design file with each other

Design Files support by Max+Plus II


Graphic Design File Example

In this example, you will learn– how to use the Graphic entry

– how to integrate the VHDL design file in Graphic design

– how to integrate the AHDL design file in Graphic design

– how to integrate the EDIF design file in Graphic design


How to Create VHDL circuit symbol

Enter you VHDL code

Create a Symbol for Graphical use


Use the VHDL symbol within Graphic Design

Use this symbol just as you use 7400


How to Create AHDL circuit symbol

Input your AHDL code



Use the AHDL symbol wihtin Graphic Design


How to Create EDIF circuit symbol

Read in the EDIF file to Max+Plus II



Use the EDIF symbol wihtin Graphic Design


Graphics Entry support.....

Graphics Entry can support– VHDL, AHDL, EDIF .......

Step – 1.) Read in your VHDL/AHDL/EDIF design file

– 2.) File -> Create Default Symbol to create the symbol for graphic use

– 3.) Open the Graphic editor

– 4.) use the Generate Symbol as you use 74xx series


VHDL Design File Example

In this example, you will learn– how to use the VHDL design entry

– how to integrate the Graphic design file in VHDL

– how to integrate the AHDL design file in VHDL

– how to integrate the EDIF design file in VHDL


How to create Graphic Design within VHDL

Draw the cirucit diagram as usual

Save the file as usual


Use the Graphic design wihtin VHDL


How to create AHDL within VHDL

Enter you AHDL file as usual

Save the file as usual


Use AHDL within VHDL


How to create EDIF within VHDL

Read in the EDIF file as usual


How to use EDIF within VHDL


VHDL support.....

VHDL Entry can support– Graphic, AHDL, EDIF .......

Step – 1.) Design you Graphic/AHDL/EDIF circuit

– 2.) Use the “COMPONENT” method


AHDL Design File Example

In this example, you will learn– how to use the AHDL design entry

– how to integrate the Graphic design file in AHDL design

– how to integrate the VHDL design file in AHDL design

– how to integrate the EDIF design file in AHDL design


How to use Graphic within AHDL

Draw the cirucit diagram as usual

Create an “INC” file


Use Graphic within AHDL


How to create VHDL within AHDL

Enter your VHDL design file



Use VHDL within AHDL


How to create EDIF within AHDL

Read in the EDIF design file



Use EDIF within AHDL


AHDL Entry support.....

AHDL Entry can support– Graphic, VHDL, EDIF .......

Step – 1.) Read in your Graphic/VHDL/EDIF design file

– 2.) File -> Create Default Include File

– 3.) Open the Text Editor

– 4.) use the Include statement


Conclusion

Altera Max+Plus II is a fully integrate software It support different kinds of design entry The design entry can be mixed within different level

of hierarchy
