Devices)
FLEX 10KE devices are supported by the MAX+PLUS II development
system, which is an integrated package that offers schematic, text
(including AHDL), and waveform design entry, compilation and logic
synthesis, full simulation and worst-case timing analysis, and device
configuration. The MAX+PLUS II software provides EDIF 2 0 0 and 3 0 0,
LPM, VHDL, Verilog HDL, and other interfaces for additional design
entry and simulation support from other industry-standard PC- and
UNIX workstation-based EDA tools.
The MAX+PLUS II software works easily with common gate array EDA
tools for synthesis and simulation. For example, the MAX+PLUS II
software can generate Verilog HDL files for simulation with tools such as
Cadence Verilog-XL. Additionally, the MAX+PLUS II software contains
EDA libraries that use device-specific features such as carry chains, which
are used for fast counter and arithmetic functions. For instance, the
Synopsys Design Compiler library supplied with the MAX+PLUS II
development system includes DesignWare functions that are optimized
for the FLEX 10KE architecture.
The MAX+PLUS II development system runs on Windows-based PCs and
Sun SPARCstation, and HP 9000 Series 700/800, and IBM RISC
System/6000 workstations.
See the MAX+PLUS II Programmable Logic Development System & Software
Data Sheet for more information.
