3.1. Introduction to IP Cores
Intel and strategic IP partners offer a broad portfolio of configurable IP cores optimized for Intel FPGA devices.
The Quartus® Prime software installation includes the IP library. Integrate optimized and verified IP cores into your design to shorten design cycles and maximize performance. The Quartus® Prime software also supports integration of IP cores from other sources. Use the IP Catalog (Tools > IP Catalog) to efficiently parameterize and generate synthesis and simulation files for your custom IP variation. The IP library includes the following types of IP cores:
| Basic functions | Interface protocols |
| Bridges and adapters | Low power functions |
| DSP functions | Memory interfaces and controllers |
| Intel FPGA interconnect | Processors and peripherals |
This document provides basic information about parameterizing, generating, upgrading, and simulating stand-alone IP cores in the Quartus® Prime software.
