PlanAhead hierarchical floorplanning and analysis software from Hier Design offers full support for the latest version of the Xilinx Integrated Software Environment 6.1i (ISE)
Products initially will support Xilinx devices only.
Remarks Jackson Kreiter, Hier Design's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman: "Xilinx's Spartan-3 devices have the complexity, performance and affordability to obsolete ASICs in a large number of high-volume commercial applications.
Designers are now demanding ASIC-style hierarchical design tools to efficiently utilise these complex devices, and we are excited to be the first vendor on the market that is providing such tools".
"The Hier Design family of silicon virtual prototyping solutions will quickly become a valued design tool set for Spartan-3 designers", adds Jerry Banks, director of Global Alliances at Xilinx.
"Its capabilities will help Spartan-3 users gain a higher level of packing optimisation for their design, resulting in a lower cost of implementation - a critical benefit for today's system developers".
