PC-based VHDL synthesis for FPGA/CPLD made simple

摘要

The first product from Syn-plicity Inc., a Californian start-up EDA company formed two year's ago, is now available in the UK and Ireland through ALT Technologies. Synplify is a synthesis tool for PC/workstations that takes a VHDL (or Verilog) design and compiles, optimises and maps it into a netlist for a programmable logic device implementation. CPLDs and FPGAs from Actel, Altera, Lucent Technologies, Cypress, QuickLogic and Xilinx can be targeted.
