ALTMULT-ACCUM (Multiplier-accumulate) Alternative - ALTMULT-ACCUM (Multiplier-accumulate) Alternative Hi all, I'm a newbie, using Quartus Prime Lite 18.1, and my device is of Cyclone V family. I need to build a multiplier-accumulator, and learnt that the IP catalog consists of an arithmetic megafunction; ALTMULT-ACCUM. But when referring to the 'Integer Arithmetic Megafunctions User Guide' it mentions that Quartus Prime 13.1 upwards do not support this megafunction for cyclone V, instead use ALTMULT_ADD (Mulitply- Adder). But, when I try to use this function on Quartus, it says that this is not supported for cyclone V anymore. I'd like to know if there is any alternative that I could use or if there is a way to create a megafunction or a way to get around this issue. Hoping someone could help me in figuring this out. Thanks in advance!!

Best Regards, Shainy Replies: Re: ALTMULT-ACCUM (Multiplier-accumulate) Alternative Hi Shainy, You're using the wrong IP. You should be using ALTERA_MULT_ADD, you can refer to this document: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_lpm_alt_mfug.pdf#page=36 Prior to Quartus II v14.0, these IP cores were called Megafunctions and used MegaWizard Plug-In to be generated into the design. Starting from Quartus II v14.0, they're referred to as IP , and you are required to use IP catalog to generate them. Although it's been a long time since Quartus v14.0, for Cyclone V devices, the MegaWizard Plug-In will be prompted to select the parameters after you have selected the Arithmatic IP core on IP catalog.
