3.4.1.2.3. Synthesis Attributes in VHDL

VHDL attributes declare and apply the attribute type to the object you specify.

Synthesis Attributes in VHDL

The following shows the synthesis attributes example in VHDL:

attribute <attribute> : <attribute type> ;
attribute <attribute> of <object> : <object type> is <value>;

altera_syn_attributes

The Intel® Quartus® Prime software defines and applies each attribute separately to a given node. For VHDL designs, the software declares all supported synthesis attributes in the altera_syn_attributes package in the Altera library. You can call this library from your VHDL code to declare the synthesis attributes:

LIBRARY altera;
USE altera.altera_syn_attributes.all;
