EDA （Electronic Design Automation）即“电子设计自动化”，是指以计算机为工作平台，以EDA软件为开发环境，以硬件描述语言为设计语言，以可编程器件PLD为实验载体(包括CPLD、FPGA、EPLD等)，以集成电路芯片为目标器件的电子产品自动化设计过程。“工欲善其事，必先利其器”，因此，EDA工具在电子系统设计中所占的份量越来越高。下面就介绍一些目前较为流行的EDA工具软件。 PLD 及IC设计开发领域的EDA工具，一般至少要包含仿真器（Simulator）、综合器（Synthesizer）和配置器（Place and Routing, P&R）等几个特殊的软件包中的一个或多个，因此这一领域的EDA工具就不包括Protel、PSpice、Ewb等原理图和PCB板设计及电路仿真软件。目前流行的EDA工具软件有两种分类方法：一种是按公司类别进行分类，另一种是按功能进行划分。 若按公司类别分，大体可分两类：一类是EDA 专业软件公司，业内最著名的三家公司是Cadence、Synopsys和Mentor Graphics；另一类是PLD器件厂商为了销售其产品而开发的EDA工具，较著名的公司有Altera、Xilinx、lattice等。前者独立于半导体器件厂商，具有良好的标准化和兼容性，适合于学术研究单位使用，但系统复杂、难于掌握且价格昂贵；后者能针对自己器件的工艺特点作出优化设计，提高资源利用率，降低功耗，改善性能，比较适合产品开发单位使用。 若按功能分，大体可以分为以下三类。 (1) 集成的PLD/FPGA开发环境 由半导体公司提供，基本上可以完成从设计输入（原理图或HDL）→仿真→综合→布线→下载到器件等囊括所有PLD开发流程的所有工作。如Altera公司的MaxplusⅡ、QuartusⅡ，Xilinx公司的ISE，Lattice公司的 ispDesignExpert等。其优势是功能全集成化，可以加快动态调试，缩短开发周期；缺点是在综合和仿真环节与专业的软件相比，都不是非常优秀的。 (2) 综合类 这类软件的功能是对设计输入进行逻辑分析、综合和优化，将硬件描述语句（通常是系统级的行为描述语句）翻译成最基本的与或非门的连接关系（网表），导出给PLD/FPGA厂家的软件进行布局和布线。为了优化结果，在进行较复杂的设计时，基本上都使用这些专业的逻辑综合软件，而不采用厂家提供的集成PLD/FPGA开发工具。如Synplicity公司的Synplify、Synopsys公司的FPGAexpress、FPGA Compiler Ⅱ等。 (3) 仿真类 这类软件的功能是对设计进行模拟仿真，包括布局布线（P&R）前的“功能仿真”（也叫“前仿真”）和P&R后的包含了门延时、线延时等的“时序仿真”（也叫“后仿真”）。复杂一些的设计，一般需要使用这些专业的仿真软件。因为同样的设计输入，专业软件的仿真速度比集成环境的速度快得多。此类软件最著名的要算Model Technology公司的Modelsim，Cadence公司的NC-Verilog/NC-VHDL/NC-SIM等。 以上介绍了一些具代表性的EDA 工具软件。它们在性能上各有所长，有的综合优化能力突出，有的仿真模拟功能强，好在多数工具能相互兼容，具有互操作性。比如Altera公司的 QuartusII集成开发工具，就支持多种第三方的EDA软件，用户可以在QuartusII软件中通过设置直接调用Modelsim和 Synplify进行仿真和综合。 如果设计的硬件系统不是很大，对综合和仿真的要求不是很高，那么可以在一个集成的开发环境中完成整个设计流程。如果要进行复杂系统的设计，则常规的方法是多种EDA工具协调工作，集各家之所长来完成设计流程。

Applying power to a standard logic chip, SRAM, or EPROM, usually results in output pinstracking the applied voltage as it rises. Programmable logic attempts to emulate that behavior,but physics forbids perfect emulation, due to the device programmability. It requires care tospecify the pin behavior, because programmable parts encounter unknown variables – yourdesign and your power environment.

Today’s digital systems combine a myriad of chips with different voltage configurations.Designers must interface 2.5V processors with 3.3V memories—both RAM and ROM—as wellas 5V buses and multiple peripheral chips. Each chip has specific power supply needs. CPLDsare ideal for handling the multi-voltage interfacing, but do require forethought to ensure correctoperation.

Design techniques for electronic systems areconstantly changing. In industries at the heart of thedigital revolution, this change is especially acute.Functional integration, dramatic increases incomplexity, new standards and protocols, costconstraints, and increased time-to-market pressureshave bolstered both the design challenges and theopportunities to develop modern electronic systems.One trend driving these changes is the increasedintegration of core logic with previously discretefunctions to achieve higher performance and morecompact board designs.

The CoolRunner-II CPLD is a highly uniform family of fast, low-power devices. Theunderlying architecture is a traditional CPLD architecture, combining macrocells intofunction blocks interconnected with a global routing matrix, the Xilinx AdvancedInterconnect Matrix (AIM). The function blocks use a PLA configuration that allowsall product terms to be routed and shared among any of the macrocells of the functionblock.

The Virtex-4 features, such as the programmable IDELAY and built-in FIFO support, simplifythe bridging of a high-speed, PCI-X core to large amounts of DDR-SDRAM memory. Onechallenge is meeting the PCI-X target initial latency specification. PCI-X Protocol Addendum tothe PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0a ([Ref 6]) dictates that when a target signals adata transfer, "the target must do so within 16 clocks of the assertion of FRAME#." PCItermination transactions, such as Split Response/Complete, are commonly used to meet thelatency specifications. This method adds complexity to the design, as well as additional systemlatency. Another solution is to increase the ratio of the memory frequency to the PCI-X busfrequency. However, this solution increases the required power and clock resource usage.

Xilinx FPGAs require at least two power supplies: VCCINTfor core circuitry and VCCO for I/O interface. For the latestXilinx FPGAs, including Virtex-II Pro, Virtex-II and Spartan-3, a third auxiliary supply, VCCAUX may be needed. Inmost cases, VCCAUX can share a power supply with VCCO.The core voltages, VCCINT, for most Xilinx FPGAs, rangefrom 1.2V to 2.5V. Some mature products have 3V, 3.3Vor 5V core voltages. Table 1 shows the core voltagerequirement for most of the FPGA device families. TypicalI/O voltages (VCCO) vary from 1.2V to 3.3V. The auxiliaryvoltage VCCAUX is 2.5V for Virtex-II Pro and Spartan-3, andis 3.3V for Virtex-II.
