3.8.3.3. Inferred Adder-Subtractors, Shift Registers, Memory, and DSP Functions

The Quartus® Prime software infers IP cores from Verilog HDL and VHDL code for logic that forms adder-subtractors, shift registers, RAM, ROM, and arithmetic functions that are placed in DSP blocks.

Because adder-subtractors are part of an IP core instead of generic logic, the combinational logic exists in the design with different names. For shift registers, memory, and DSP functions, the software implements the registers and logic inside the dedicated RAM or DSP blocks in the device. Thus, the registers are not visible as separate LEs or ALMs.
