Hi all, in all Altera documentation (Quartus, Embedded IP, other tools), Altera uses a neat software package that they use to draw everything.  

 

Does anyone know what it might be? Or would anyone be able to suggest a professional software package that can be used to produce similar schematics? 

 

I attached an example, but anything recommendations on something similar that is easy to use and produces good results would be great! 

 

Thanks!

You can get pretty close to that using Visio.

I use Visio. It's easy to embed in Word documents and the like.

Visio works for me. I assume altera just have some libraries in visio. 

If you want nice looking waveforms, use http://wavedrom.com/

Thanks all. I use Visio too, I was just wondering if there were a better tool with a developed object library for chip systems.
