Introduction
As design complexities increase, the use of vendor-specific intellectual
property (IP) blocks has become a common design methodology. Altera
provides parameterizable megafunctions that are optimized for Altera
device architectures. Using megafunctions instead of coding your own
logic saves valuable design time. Additionally, the Altera-provided
functions may offer more efficient logic synthesis and device
implementation. You can scale the size of the megafunction by setting
parameters.
