Design tool support
extends to latest FPGAs
Mentor Graphics has released comprehensive design tool support for the new Virtex-II Pro FPGA family from Xilinx
Extracting maximum performance from the Virtex-II Pro family for applications, such as high-speed datacommunications systems, requires an end-to-end design and verification solution comprising tools for creation through synthesis. To this end, Xilinx has teamed with Mentor Graphics to ensure that tool development occurs in lockstep with new architecture announcements.

"Combining microprocessors with multi-gigabit serial transceivers on a single device introduces a level of design complexity that forces closer relationships with the EDA community", said Rich Sevcik, senior vice president, FPGA Products at Xilinx.
"In tandem with our introduction of the Virtex-II Pro family, Mentor Graphics delivers a state-of-art synthesis tool, Precision Synthesis, that is uniquely tailored to address the timing optimization challenges of cutting-edge FPGA design".
To support the performance requirements of the Virtex-II Pro architecture, Mentor Graphics offers a full suite of FPGA solutions, including products for design management, verification, coverification, embedded systems, intellectual property and FPGA-onboard.
In addition, Mentor's Star-award winning customer support team is available to address all tool usage requirements.
"With its unique combination of on-chip microprocessors and high-speed peripherals, the Virtex-II Pro Family will change the application areas that can be serviced by FPGAs", said Anne Sanquini, vice president and general manager of the HDL design Division at Mentor Graphics.
"Extracting the high speed promised by these devices requires easy-to-use and flexible tools designed specifically to meet the needs of programmable system platforms.
Our collaboration with Xilinx provides our mutual customers with a complete tool flow to architect, customize and optimise designs faster, enabling high-performance results without costly and time-consuming silicon respins".
