Synario Design Automation, an autonomous division of Data I/O, is a worldwide
supplier of highly integrated Windows-based EDA software. Synario provides
an easy-to-use, top-down design system that accelerates the design process
and enables designers of programmable ICs and printed circuit boards to
meet time-to-market demands.
Knowing that designers need to be armed for the design task at hand,
Synario offers a complete suite of best-in-class tools as well as an abundance
of embedded design and device-specific information. Designers can be assured
Synario Device Kits are tailored for the chosen vendor’s architectures.
The power behind the Synario Design System can be attributed to its
Project Navigator. After the designer selects a device, the Project Navigator
presents the steps required to design, simulate, synthesize, and place-and-route
the device. Synario users can move from entry to implementation in minutes,
even when targeting an unfamiliar device architecture.
To support traditional or top-down design methods, Synario provides
unsurpassed mixed-entry support along with functional and timing simulation
options for both Verilog and VHDL users. Synthesis capabilities that compliment
device-specific technology mapping are also available.
Finally, there’s a top-of-the-line Windows-based EDA system every bit
as capable of workstation-based solutions.
Product Highlights
-
A device-smart Project Navigator which reconfigures the design flow each
time a new device architecture is chosen.
-
Mixed schematic and HDL support for the transitioning PLD user
-
Multi-level functional and timing simulation using Verilog or VHDL
-
ABEL-HDL and VHDL logic synthesis and technology mapping
-
Built-in intelligence to process the complete design for the chosen architecture
Xilinx-Specific Highlights
-
Fully supports latest XACT design flow including unified library and
-
X-BLOX
-
Xilinx device kits include drawing libraries, simulation models, Xilinx
architecture-specific logic synthesis, design examples
-
Project Navigator fully incorporates Xilinx design flow in the Synario
environment
-
Launch and control of XACT directly from the Project Navigator
-
Inferencing of X-BLOX from VHDL behavioral source
-
VHDL simulation support for X-BLOX and LCA-specific symbols
Design Flow
Designs can be expressed in schematics, ABEL-HDL, VHDL, or graphical state
machines. Both schematics and HDL entry support all device constructs and
specification of place & route constraints. Functional simulation can
be performed immediately after entry.
Synthesis is performed on HDL modules or graphical state machines taking
into account Xilinx-specific attributes. Output from all sources are optimized
Xilinx Netlist Files (XNF). Xilinx place & route software can be invoked
and controlled from within Synario’s Project Navigator. Full back annotation
for timing simulation is supported.
