Introduction to Altera IP Cores
Altera
®
and strategic IP partners offer a broad portfolio of off-the-shelf, configurable IP cores optimized for
Altera devices. Altera delivers an IP core library with the Quartus
®
II software. OpenCore Plus IP evaluation
enables fast acquisition, evaluation, and hardware testing of all Altera IP cores.
Nearly all complex FPGA designs include optimized logic from IP cores. You can integrate optimized and
verified IP cores into your design to shorten design cycles and maximize performance. The Quartus II
software includes the Altera IP Library, and supports IP cores from other sources. You can define and
generate a custom IP variation to represent complex design logic in your project.
The Altera IP Library includes the following IP core types:
• Basic functions
• DSP functions
• Interface protocols
• Memory interfaces and controllers
• Processors and peripherals

Installing and Licensing IP Cores
The Quartus II software includes the Altera IP Library. The library provides many useful IP core functions
for production use without additional license. You can fully evaluate any licensed Altera IP core in simulation
and in hardware until you are satisfied with its functionality and performance. Some Altera IP cores, such
as MegaCore
®
functions, require that you purchase a separate license for production use. After you purchase
a license, visit the Self Service Licensing Center to obtain a license number for any Altera product.
