In this latest release, version 3.6, Synopsys delivers several enhancements that it claims make FPGA design easier and more efficient than ever before. "More and more of our customers are using FPGAs for sophisticated applications," said Aart de Geus, chairman and CEO of Synopsys. "They need robust, ASIC-like design tools.
We have been steadily increasing our investment in such FPGA design solutions to meet their growing needs."
Synopsys FPGA Compiler II supports all devices from Altera and Xilinx.
Version 3.6 now contains algorithms to support future device and software offerings from these leading silicon vendors.
These algorithms are activated by downloading plug-in modules, which will be made available by Synopsys to customers who have registered on the Synopsys FPGA Compiler II web page.
FPGA Express and FPGA Compiler II both feature a new intuitive graphic user interface to select the I/O buffers for Xilinx Virtex-II devices.
This significantly reduces the effort needed to design for these high-end devices by streamlining the HDL source code as well as preventing invalid combinations of I/O standards, slew rate and drive strength.
In addition, version 3.6 delivers specialised high-performance multiplier support and a critical path browser, making FPGA Express and FPGA Compiler II even easier to use for designing high performance FPGA devices.
