Honored ContributorIntelligently synthesizing a constant coefficient FIR filter
Here's a question: Is QuartusII intelligent enough to synthesize a constant-coefficient FIR filter using logic resources instead of multipliers (DSP blocks)? I have a test design that implement...

Honored ContributorQuartus integrated synthesis has rules for which things to implement automatically in DSP blocks (and similarly in RAM blocks). There are synthesis directives and Assignment Editor assignments for user control of this. If you are getting DSP blocks automatically, then in the Assignment Editor try setting "Auto DSP Block Replacement" to "Off" or setting "DSP Block Balancing" to "Logic Elements".
