14 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi, as far as I know there is still no direct synhtesis support for DW elements in Quartus implemented. All the hints in the Quartus help describe a flow where you have to use "Design Compiler" ( that's the synthesis tool of Synopsys). Kind regards GPK --- Quote End --- Hi GPK, Thanks again for the response. There doesn't seem to be much information online on this subject (Anything I could find, you seemed to be involved in the discussion :)). I decided to have a look at our ASIC synthesis setup and it seems we have a library of these elements included as part of our companies greater CAD library. Up until now all simulations I had run used simulation only models. I have included these as part of my fpga project and the whole design seems to have come through synthesis. If the final design will actually work on fpga is another thing. I will update you if I manage to get this working! It seems like I'm not the only person who encountered this. - Vinnie
