You can get the design templates using the following steps:
  1. In Quartus® Prime software, open a new Verilog HDL or VHDL file.
  2. From Edit tab, click Insert Template.
  3. From the Insert Template window prompt, you may select Verilog HDL or VHDL depending on your preferred design language.
  4. Click Full Designs to expand the options.
  5. From the options, click Arithmetic > DSP Features > > DSP Features for 20-nm Device.
  6. Choose the design template that match your system requirement and click Insert to append the design template to a new .v or .vhd file.
