Moving to newer higher capacity programmable devices can give you higher density and better performance. But if you use common CAE design tools, transferring your old design's description to the new device's development environment may be difficult. PLD-design methods help ensure that your design remains transportable.
All CAE tools accept PLD-design methods. Thus, using PLD-design methods leads to a very simple method for moving designs to new types of PLDs. Using these methods helps you take advantage of the increased performance and lower cost of newer devices and lets you combine new designs with existing ones.
