Abstract
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have emerged as a quick and very effective means to generate low-cost prototypes of designs. In recent times, FPGAs have grown from a tiny market niche to a significant portion of the IC market. The complexity and speed of the FPGAs available in the market has been increasing at a rapid pace. Simultaneously, the cost per gate of FPGAs has been fast decreasing. The Synopsys FPGA Compiler has been developed primarily to target FPGA technology libraries. The FPGA Compiler is fully integrated into the Synopsys Design Compiler/Design Analyzer front end. For a user familiar with DC, FPGA Compiler is easy to use.
