Recently, Altera has officially launched the Quartus® Prime Professional Edition 25.3 and the FPGA AI Suite 25.3. This update brings a significant leap in FPGA design, enhancing compilation speed, design efficiency, and tool usability. Compared to version 25.1, version 25.3 has reduced compilation time by 6%, and since the introduction of Agilex 7, the total compilation time has been reduced by up to 27%. Additionally, designers can save up to 4% of Adaptive Logic Modules (ALM) on average while maintaining excellent Fmax performance.

Smart Tools and Design Process Optimization

Quartus Prime 25.3 introduces Altera's fourth-generation system integration tool, the Visual Designer Studio, which offers a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface and automatic IP module connection. Compared to traditional RTL design methods, Visual Designer Studio can reduce the FPGA design startup time from 5 days to just 2 hours. Moreover, the tool supports intelligent connection automation and GitHub-hosted examples to help design teams quickly build complex systems.

Enhancements in FPGA AI Suite

The FPGA AI Suite 25.3 has made significant progress in integrating AI models with FPGA designs. The new version supports the production of Agilex 3 series FPGAs, including hostless JTAG designs. Additionally, the AI Suite has introduced a DDR-free mode, enabling instant model switching, reduced power consumption, and increased FPS (frames per second). For example, when running RESNET-50 on Agilex 7, FPS has increased by 27%. The AI Suite also provides a streaming system console and a Python interface, further simplifying the development process.

Next-Generation Power and Thermal Analysis Tools

Quartus Prime 25.3 has expanded its Power and Thermal Analyzer, making it a smarter and more efficient next-generation tool. The tool offers a unified workflow, advanced thermal modeling, and what-if scenario exploration, helping designers gain in-depth insights into power and thermal behavior early in the design cycle. Additionally, it supports heat sink design guidance and enhanced documentation to help teams optimize power budgets and reduce pre-deployment surprises.

Enhanced Development Experience

Quartus Prime 25.3, through enhanced compilers and architectural optimizations, helps designers integrate more logic into FPGAs while maintaining high performance. The new version also introduces containerized installation and an "embedded center" Quartus version, improving the embedded development experience. With these improvements, Quartus Prime 25.3 not only increases compilation speed but also helps teams reduce iteration counts, achieve faster timing convergence, and bring products to market with greater confidence.
