Foundation Series integrates comprehensive graphical HDL entry capabilities
and powerful synthesis and implementation technologies to deliver a complete,
superior HDL design solution.
Foundation Series features support for all leading industry standard HDLs, including VHDL, Verilog, and Abel. This allows designers to use the HDL of their choosing without being forced to use a vendor proprietary language. Foundation Series graphical entry capabilities are provided in a complete, mixed-level design environment, and feature the HDL Editor, State Editor, and Language Assistant. The HDL editor provides extensive editing and search capabilities with integrated syntax checking. The Language Assistant speeds design entry by providing a pre-designed set of commonly used language constructs and logic modules. The State Editor enables fast, intuitive graphical entry of both simple and complex state machines. Automatic HDL code generation from these tools allows designs to be synthesized immediately after entry. Fast, push-button synthesis flows leveraging Synopsys FPGA Express technology yields high quality results simply and effectively. All these HDL design capabilities combine to enable the creation of expert VHDL designs in minutes. For designers new to VHDL, Foundation Series also includes a
comprehensive, multi-media VHDL language tutorial from Esperan.
