MOHC has released a commercial version of its popular online timing diagram editor. TimingTool has been designed to provide the best diagram publishing capabilities of any tool in its class. Utilities are provided to convert timing diagrams to GIF/JPG and PNG or directly to HTML and PDF for publishing on the web.

Diagrams can also be converted into scaleable vector formats including EPS and EMF, SVG and PDF.

TimingTool complies with the Si2 TDML standard (Timing Diagram Markup Language), allowing files to be imported from other tools that generate TDML compliant timing information.

Full VHDL and Verilog testbench generators are provided that allow engineers to create HDL models directly from their timing diagrams.

TimingTool can parse VHDL and Verilog models, so that an initial timing diagram is automatically set up for the engineer.

The unique web-enabling features of TimingTool allow users to create an online account and to publish diagrams to a common work area on the Internet.

The TimingTool website provides a free online applet, TimingTool-Lite, that can be used by online users to view timing diagrams in the work area.

The timing analysis engine automatically traces through delay chains calculating the critical path and timing margins, and highlighting any problems in red.

TimingTool uses Java technology and is platform independent (currently Windows and Linux installers are available, with Solaris, HPUX, OSX and AIX to follow shortly).

A powerful macro writing capability is provided to allow customisation of the product.

Not only are engineers able to automate repetitive tasks, but also file imports and exports can be written to interface with many other EDA tools or electronic test equipment.

TimingTool is priced competitively at $2000 and is supplied by MOHC.

It can be downloaded now from the TimingTool website for a free 30 day evaluation.

Academic licences are available on request.
