Logic Design Tools

• MS Visio
  • a generic drawing program.
  • industry is converging on this program for documentation.
  • has built in shape libraries, including analog/digital logic.
  • we’ll use it for this class to create clean schematics.

Logic Design Tools

• ModelSim (by Mentor Graphics)
  • an HDL Simulation (VHDL and Verilog)
  • widely used in industry
  • has color-coded text editing for keywords
  • has console for verification reporting
  • we’ll use for homework & before FPGA synthesis.

Logic Design Tools

• ModelSim (^) Simulation Waveform

Logic Design Tools

• Xilinx ISE
  • Integrated Software Environment (ISE)
  • Implementation tool
  • compile / simulate
  • synthesis
  • technology mapping
  • place and route
  • back annotation for post-route simulation and timing verification
  • can do similar simulation as in ModelSim
  • this is where we :
    • select FPGA to target
    • assign signal pins
    • set timing constraints
    • set placement constraints
    • set routing constraints
    • generate programming file
    • download file to FPGA, EEprom, or CPLD using the JTAG interface.
