Mentor Graphics has announced that its suite of advanced synthesis products now supports Virtex-5 TXT field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), the newest platform from Xilinx optimised for ultra high-bandwidth applications. The Mentor Graphics Precision RTL and Precision RTL Plus products offer immediate availability of synthesis support for designs targeting the Virtex-5 TXT platform.
The new Virtex-5 TXT platform delivers a multitude of 6,5 Gbps GTX transceivers to enable the development of 40G and 100G systems targeting networking, telecom, audio/video broadcast and medical imaging.
The Precision Synthesis product line forms the centrepiece of Mentor’s FPGA flow. The Precision RTL Plus product offers capabilities such as physical synthesis which provides high quality results, automatic incremental synthesis to reduce the impact of late design cycle changes, and patent-pending functionality which enables the efficient utilisation of architectural blocks.
With comprehensive mixed-language support including SystemVerilog, advanced support for application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) prototyping (support for DesignWare libraries, SDC constraints, gated-clock handling, etc), plus advanced implementation and optimisation techniques such as automatic mapping and inferencing of dedicated DSP and RAM blocks, the Precision Synthesis product is well suited to handle today’s high-end FPGAs. In addition, it features an award-winning design analysis capability, allowing designers to cross-probe between multiple views as well as perform interactive static timing for rapid 'what-if' analyses.
