Synplicity has unveiled major enhancements to its industry-leading FPGA synthesis software.

Synplicity has unveiled major enhancements to its industry-leading FPGA synthesis software These enhancements are designed to provide users with significant productivity gains through close integration with formal verification, place and route, and debugging products while also improving on the company's unmatched quality of results (QoR) for FPGAs in terms of area and timing performance

The Synplify Pro 8.0 synthesis tool delivers these productivity and QoR improvements through new features and greater integration with other tools in the design flow.

For example, integrated formal verification flow support for Cadence's Conformal and Prover Technology's eCheck equivalence checker software is now provided, enabling the Synplify Pro software's advanced optimisations to be used with popular formal verification software solutions.

In addition, the Synplify Pro software now delivers tighter integration with place and route tools from Actel, Altera and Xilinx, making it easier for users to run place and route after synthesis and manage the results in the Synplify Pro project.
