Synplify Pro® FPGA synthesis software, part of the Synopsys FPGA design solution, is the industry standard for producing high-performance, cost-effective FPGA designs. Its unique Behavior Extracting Synthesis Technology® (BEST™) performs optimization at a high level first, before synthesizing the RTL code into specific FPGA logic. This approach allows for superior optimization across the FPGA, provides fast runtimes and support for very large designs. Synplify Pro software supports the latest VHDL and Verilog language constructs including SystemVerilog and VHDL 2008. The software also supports FPGA architectures from a variety of FPGA vendors, including Altera, Lattice Semiconductor, Microsemi (formerly Actel), SiliconBlue and Xilinx, all from a single RTL and constraint source. Synplify Pro software uses a single, easy-to-use interface and has the...

OverviewThis course introduces concepts on full-speed hardware debugging using the Identify® toolset which provides an “embedded HDL analyzer” with debug access at the RTL level similar to an RTL simulator. Designers can take this course at their own pace and enjoy the online version of this class. Comprehensive notes complete the information displayed on each page. This course is powered by Vitalect. ObjectivesThe course focuses on understanding concepts on instrumenting the design and using the Identify® product to successfully verify the functionality of hardware. Audience ProfileDesigners who wish to move away from basic logic analyzer capabilities inside an FPGA and perform real-world full-speed verification of their hardware. PrerequisitesKnowledge of logic synthesis and FPGA technologies. Course Outline Identify Instrumentor IICE™ Identify...

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announce that hotfix version 003 for 16.60 release available. This update includes some critical bug fixes.

MMSIM 12.1 contains many new features to aid RF designers. Many of these changes are described in my Part 1 blog post. I\’ve saved my favorite for last….here\’s a preview of the changes to the nport component in MMSIM12.1. 1. The Edit Object Properties/Add Instance form has been revised for better usability. 2. For most S-parameter files, only the S-Parameter file name and the number of ports need to be specified. (See the red boxes in the GUI below). The default settings for all of the other properties are suggested. nport1a gui 3. When you select the Browse and select s-data file button, the following GUI appears and allows you to browse and select the desired s-parameter data file. Once...
