2.2. HDL Design Guidelines

When designing with HDL code, consider how synthesis tools interpret different HDL design techniques and what results to expect.

Design style can affect logic utilization and timing performance, as well as the design’s reliability. This section describes basic design techniques that ensure optimal synthesis results for designs that target Intel FPGA devices while avoiding common causes of unreliability and instability. As a best practice, consider potential problems when designing combinational logic, and pay attention to clocking schemes so that the design maintains synchronous functionality and avoids timing issues.
