Interactive HDL visualization and creation tools

Whether a team is creating a design from the ground up, or evaluating RTL for reuse, HDL Designer forms a part of a complete design solution for FPGA and ASIC development. Helping engineering teams analyze, create and manage their complex designs.

Design quickly using optimal methods

Create designs optimally

Designing and creating large designs from IP efficiently requires more than just writing RTL. HDL Designer Series provides engineers with a suite of advanced design editors to facilitate development: interface-based design spreadsheets and state-machine editing.

Quickly assess new and reused code quality

Analyze designs efficiently

Hand-in-hand with code creation is code analysis.  HDL Designer assists engineers in analyzing complex RTL designs, providing code integrity analysis, connectivity completeness analysis, HDL code quality assessments, and design visualization.

Manage code throughout the development flow

Design flow management

In conjunction with design creation and analysis, design management is the third important task facing designers. Along with managing the design data, teams need to manage the project throughout the design flow. HDL Designer tackles the design management problem by providing the designer with interfaces to other design tools within the flow; data and
version management solutions.

Our primary motivation in acquiring HDL Designer Series was to gain access to its design entry and visualization tools, which allow us to work at a higher level than just VHDL or Verilog text entry.
