Altium provides a comprehensive support for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) / Programmable Logic Devices (PLD) design. This page details library support for the schematic-based design methodology across a range of vendors and architectures. Vendor dependent libraries for FPGA/PLD design are supplied below; vendor independent libraries are supplied with the software itself and are not listed in the following tables.


Two types of downloadable files are supplied for each vendor: The first contains Macro & Primitive Symbol Libraries for programming and the second contains PCB Component & Footprint Libraries for board design.
For detailed information on the PCB library contents click on the library name in the following tables.
Please check this page regularly or subscribe to library news for the latest updates. To subscribe, simply send an e-mail to libnews-request@altium.com.au, and type JOIN in the body of the message. Set the mail sending format to: "Plain Text".


Altium Designer 2004 currently supports the following FPGA / PLD vendors.

Actel , Altera , Lattice Semiconductor , Xilinx
