PCB Interface (Automated FPGA I/O synchronization)Category : Project ManagementAldec and its Partners have worked together to create an integrated solution that offers PCB designers a smooth migration between PCB design capture and HDL based FPGA design management and simulation products. Pin configuration is often far from optimal for PCB routing and the solution supports the I/O synchronization between the FPGA device and the PCB board layout. The integrated solution supports for Altera®, Atmel®, Lattice®, Microsemi™ (Actel), Quicklogic®, Xilinx® flows and devices, from one universal design manager that controls all design files for simulation, synthesis, place and route. It also supports forward/back annotation of pin assignments to optimize the PCB routing, HDL design entry and project management.
