As FPGA devices have become larger and faster, verifying functionality of costly ASIC designs in FPGAs has become an effective and economical method of verification. With increasing competitive pressures and shorter product life cycles, designers have less time to develop high performance and complex ASIC designs.Īt the same time, the development cost of an ASIC is increasing rapidly, making it less feasible to use ASIC devices for many cost-sensitive applications without extensive testing and simulation. With deep analysis capabilities, advanced creation editors, and complete project and flow management, HDL Designer delivers a powerful HDL design environment. Executives, managers, and engineers all have a big stake in reuse, but nearly everyone underestimates the challenges associated with it. These HDL design capabilities greatly assist engineers, individuals and teams, in creating, analysing, and managing their complex designs, improving their productivity and accelerating design creation.Įffective design reuse is a critical objective for every electronic design company as 75% of future productivity gains will come through reuse.

Mentor Graphics delivers a complete design solution for FPGA and ASIC HDL development beginning with comprehensive design creation addressing new code creation, formal and informal design reuse, and any combination in between. Standard languages (such as VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog) and IP formats, along with common industry version management systems aid in producing repeatable and dependable design processes, but the tools that utilise these standards need to do much more than edit text files. Hence, the design teams have placed more demands on HDL processes, automation, and style guidelines for developing quality design results.

Whether designing an FPGA or ASIC, the devices have advanced capabilities and complex features that, when put under tight development cycles, burden the design teams to produce efficient and robust chips.
