Products from Universities. |
- Alliance from LIP6 laboratory.
ALLIANCE is a complete set of CAD tools and portable libraries for teaching digital VLSI design in universities. It includes a VHDL compiler and simulator, logic synthesis tools, automatic place and route,design rule checker, functional abstractor etc..
ALLIANCE provides a full set of process independent libraries. It allows to choose the target technology of a chip when the project is already well into thelayout.
- Amical from TIMA laboratory.
Architectural synthesis AMICAL starts with a functional specification given inVHDL and generates an architecture composed of a data path and a controller that may feed existing synthesis tools acting at the logic and Register Transfer Level.
AMICAL interfaces with existing design environments and methodologies. It allows the mixing of manual and automatic synthesis. AMICAL allows for hierarchical design and it extends the design re-use concept to the behavioral level.
- MicroWind and DSCH from INSA Toulouse.
Please note that Microwind is a licensed software. Copying this program is prohibited. The software is published by The Academic Software Library (TASL) of the American Society of Electronic Engineering.
Microwind is a friendly PC tool for designing and simulating microelectronic circuits at layout level. The tool features full editing facilities (copy, cut,past, duplicate, move), various views (bird's view, 2D cross section, 3D process viewer), and an on-line analog simulator.
DSCH is a PC tool for logic design. Based on primitives, a hierarchical circuit is built and simulated. Interactive symbols are used to friendly simulation,which includes delay and power consumption evaluation.
- Magic from University of California at Berkeley.
Magic covers all the back-end tools including layout editor, Place & Route, Design rule checking, Netlist extraction and Layout versus Schematic.
