Hi there
I want to include an accumulator ino a design, but the ALTACCUM Megafunction seems to be missing. The ALTMULT_ACCUM is still present, but i don't want to waste the multiplier and add unnecessary latency. Is it possible to install the ALTACCUM Megafunction is some way. Has anyone else had this problem? Regards, stu84Link Copied

Which device family are you looking at? 'ALTACCUM' isn't supported beyond Cyclone III & Stratix III.

Hi there
Thanks for the feedback. I am using a Cyclone IV, so ALTACCUM isn't supported I guess. Do you have any idea why? Is there a straight-forward alternative? Thanks again, stu84- Mark as New

I would simply code it into registers.
ALTACCUM was, almost certainly, deemed superfluous with the number of registers and performance available in the newer families. What accumulator width and performance are you looking for? If your benchmark is the accumulator IP for Cyclone III then I suspect you'll achieve that in registers in Cyclone IV. Cheers, Alex
