Design and Implementation Tools

Design and Implementation activities are performed by industry standard CAD tools.
Devices and System Integration are performed using the following tools:

  • Cadence Incisive Front-End Design Environment
  • Cadence Encounter Back-End Design Environment
  • VirageLogic/Synopsys 65nm Library and Memory Compiler
  • Altera Quartus II 10.1 Web Edition FPGA Development Environment
  • Xilinx ISE Design Suite 13.2 and PlanAhead 13.2 FPGA Development Environment
  • Jungo WinDriver Development Environment
  • C++, C-Sharp for Software Development
  • Verilog for writing RTL Code, Visio for drawing device/system top-level/Block-Diagram
