Company Overview

Back to top

SynaptiCAD develops EDA tools that help engineers think critically about their designs and offers a complete line of VHDL and Verilog model generation, simulation, and timing diagram visualization tools. SynaptiCAD's WaveFormer Lite is shipped with the Actel Libero Integrated Design Environment (IDE) package and is used to generate test benches from single timing diagrams. The package can be upgraded to WaveFormer Pro to add Analog Signal Display and Interactive simulation for creating the timing diagrams or TestBencher Pro to add multi-diagram test bench and reactive model generation. SynaptiCAD also offers VeriLogger Extreme, a fast compiled Verilog simulator.

WaveFormer Pro is a revolutionary new rapid-prototyping EDA tool that helps you design faster and with fewer mistakes. Upgrade WaveFormer Lite to WaveFormer Pro and get analog signal display and digital timing analysis feature that enables you to automatically determine critical paths, verify timing margins, adjust for common delay effects, and perform "what if" analysis to determine optimum clock speed. WaveFormer Pro also lets you specify and analyze system timing and perform RTL level simulation without the need for schematics or simulation models. When your timing diagram is complete, you can then generate digital stimuli for your favorite Verilog, VHDL, SPICE or gate-level simulator. WaveFormer Pro has the ability to import and annotate simulation and logic analyzer data for publication-quality design documentation. Download WaveFormer Pro from www.syncad.com

WaveFormer Pro

TestBencher Pro TestBencher Pro provides designers with a graphical environment for rapidly generating and testing bus-functional models for VHDL, Verilog, and SystemC. Where WaveFormer Lite generates testbenches using one timing diagram, TestBencher allows multiple timing diagrams to be linked together to generate bus functional models. Each timing diagram is a reusable bus transaction and they can be applied to the model under test using both specified and random data generation. TestBencher Pro dramatically reduces the time necessary to develop test suites by generating model code from language independent graphical timing diagrams and automating the build process.

VeriLogger Extreme VeriLogger Extreme is a completely new, high-performance compiled-code Verilog 2001 simulator that significantly reduces simulation debug time. VeriLogger Extreme offers fast simulation of both RTL and gate-level simulations with SDF timing information. VeriLogger Extreme supports design libraries and design flows for all major ASIC and FPGA vendors. VeriLogger Extreme also comes with BugHunter Pro, a graphical Verilog/VHDL integrated development environment, which supports debugging with all major HDL simulators. BugHunter supports source-level debugging, a waveform compression engine for high-speed waveform dumping and viewing, and graphical test bench generation features for rapidly testing HDL models.
