Design Verification
timing requirements by driving the placement in the physical device. In addition, cross
probing between the physical design report and the HDL design code further enhances the
turnaround time.
Xilinx ISE software provides seamless integration with leading synthesis engines from
Mentor Graphics, Synopsys and Synplicity. The ISE product also includes Xilinx
proprietary synthesis technology, or XST. With just the push of a button, you can start any
leading synthesis engine within ISE. You can even use multiple synthesis engines to obtain
the most optimized result of your programmable logic design.
Programmable logic designs are verified by using a simulator, which is a software program
that confirms the functionality or timing of a circuit. The industry-standard formats used
ensure that designs can be reused. If a vendors changes its libraries, only a synthesis
recompile is necessary. Even if you decide to move to a different vendor and/or
technology, you are just a compile away after selecting the new library. It is even design-
tool independent, so you can try synthesis tools from different vendors and pick the best
results. IP cores are commonly available in HDL format, since that makes them easier to
modify and use with different device vendors.
After completing the design specification, you’ll need to know if the circuit actually works
as it’s supposed to. That is the purpose of design verification. A simulator simulates the
circuit. You’ll need to provide the design information (via the netlist after schematic
