synplicity or precision

can anybody tell the best and better SYNTHESIS tool..( a small list)
what abt Synplicity tool
 

Re: best and better tools

Design complier
 

Re: best and better <Synthesis> tools...<<<&g

There is no other tool like dc for synthesis
 

Re: best and better <Synthesis> tools...<<<&a

RTL compiler from Cadence also good for synthesis.
 

Re: best and better <Synthesis> tools...<<<&a

If You're programming for chip from Xilinx, use XST (included in ISE). It works great for me, and there's no need for leaving ISE during designing-simulating-programming.
 

I think Synopsys Design compiler is easy to learn n it has HOLD fixing option too !!

Design Compiler is industry standard tool.

Added after 31 seconds:

best for synthesis and easier to learn..

Synplicity's synplify pro is best for FPGA synthesis...

DC for asic
Synplify for FPGA

tools is developping, and if u have a synthesis tool, just use it, the principle is almost the same

leonardo spectrum is good for synthesis. synplify is also one of the tool for synthesis which is provided some of the vendors like lattice.

dc is considered to be the de-facto in ASIC ind.
fpgacompiler is a dc variant for fpgas (dc with only fpga libs, I think discontinued)
Synplify pro
RTL compiler
Magma Blast create
Leonardo Spectrum (Matured. Read deprecated)
Precision RTL (Mentor's replacement for Leonardo)
:arrow: Vendor specifics:
xst
planahead (I am not sure if it IS a synth tool or uses xst for synth)
QuartusII
isplever (Does it have a synth tool ?)
Libero (???)
Quickwork (Uses Precision ??)

DC is classic, but I think Magma will soon be the new de-facto standard in ASIC world.

DC for ASIC synthesis with Physical synthesis tools becoming more popular.

Synplicity or Precision for FPGAs.

Re: best and better <Synthesis> tools...<<<&a

there are so many tools
but what i used are
leonardospectrum
quartus II
project navigator
 

use sysnopsys's DC to do synthesis, but Candence's Conformal to do equivalence check.
 

RTLCompiler is good tool.. interm if you want EC clean netlist..
