Rochester, NY (April 20, 2010) – EMA Design Automation™ (www.ema-eda.com), a full-service provider of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solutions, today announced robust FPGA design and simulation bundles for OrCAD® users, giving them a complete flow for PCB and FPGA design. “The OrCAD product line provides a powerful set of tools for PCB design. With the recent addition of the OrCAD FPGA System Planner, users now have a solution to help integrate the FPGA onto their boards. However, they are still lacking the ability to design and verify the FPGA itself,” said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA Design Automation. “By including Aldec® Active-HDL™ in these bundles, we have filled that gap providing multi-language design entry and simulation for FPGA logic.”
The increased functionality and performance available within today’s FPGAs have resulted in a growing use of programmable logic across all areas of electronic design. While this has led more design teams to select an FPGA based implementation, this additional functionality presents a rising design and verification challenge. The OrCAD/Aldec FPGA Bundles provide the tools needed to handle the increasing complexity of FPGA development. Going beyond what typical vendor supplied simulators can provide, these bundles deliver a scalable vendor independent platform to accommodate even the most complex mixed language FPGA verification tasks. In addition, the Aldec simulator provides a significant speed increase over vendor supplied offerings and contains no limitations on design size.
“Bundling OrCAD and Aldec solutions together provide a powerful FPGA solution to the mainstream market at very competitive price points,” said David Rinehart, vice president at Aldec. “OrCAD users will be able to benefit from the additional capabilities these bundles can provide at any level of FPGA design.”
The OrCAD/Aldec FPGA Bundles add FPGA design entry and simulation to OrCAD products at an incremental cost starting at $1,756. For more information, please visit www.ema-eda.com/fpga-bundles or call 800-813-7494.
