Logic synthesis prepares for VHDL
Logic synthesis tools are the latest in a long line of CAE tools that are destined to shrink the product development cycle for ICs and ultimately convert gate-level designers to systems engineers. These tools have the ability to increase your design productivity while minimizing the risks of introducing design faults. But despite the efficiency gains, danger still lurks: Logic-synthesis software is still new, and the CAE industry is undergoing a radical transformation--thanks to the Very-high-speed-integrated-circuit (VHSIC) Hardware Description Language (VHDL).
The increasing complexity of the current generation of PLD ...
