EDIF

Electronic Design Interchange Format. An industry-standard format for the transmission of design data.

You can generate an EDIF 2 0 0 netlist file from a schematic design or from a VHDL or Verilog HDL design that has been processed with an appropriate industry-standard synthesis tool and then import the file into the Quartus^® II software as an EDIF Input File (.edf). The Quartus II software supports EDIF Input Files that contain functions from the Library of Parameterized Modules (LPM).
