Stratix II - Cyclone II GATE COUNT

Hi,

Is there an Altera application to count the number of equivalent gates for Logic Elements, Memory, DSP blocks, PLL etc... ?

Thanks...

I don't find this information..

Here is the PR-article where they announce to stop comparing to gates...

Altera: Out with Gate Counts, In with Logic Elements

Altera devices are Macrocells, Logic Elements or Adaptive Logic Modules. The combinatorial complexity of the primitive elements vary and they hold 1, 1 or 2 bits in the register. So depending on your register count or combinatorial complexity you end up with a specific device, where from my experience the I/O pin, OnChip memory or DSP Block count is leading the device choiche.

Greatings, Karl.
