Today’s systems designers face steep challenges integrating
new functionality and faster design speeds. Designers have
little time to spend resolving tools-integration issues,
achieving timing closure, or learning complicated design flows.
ISE is the choice of over 200,000 FPGA engineers for solving
these and other design challenges. ISE Foundation integrates
everything you need in a complete logic design environment for
all leading Xilinx FPGA and CPLD products. Advanced options for
in-silicon debug and high-level hierarchical design enable
light-ning- fast performance that can slash design time by up to
50%. ISE also integrates with the industry’s leading third-party
EDA tool offerings, so you can customize your design flow to
your particular project needs. With up to 70% faster logic
performance advantage versus any competing FPGA offering, timing
closure comes quickly on even your highest-density designs with
ISE Foundation.
The ISE performance advantage also enables the fastest
embedded processor and DSP acceleration, and the
highest-band-width I/O interfaces in the industry. Easy-to-use,
built-in tools and wizards also make I/O assignment, power
analysis, timing-driven design closure, and HDL simulation quick
and intuitive, while ISE report and error messages navigate
easily to support.xilinx.com. To make your project closure even
faster, Xilinx Education Services offers courses on designing
with ISE Foundation at the intro-ductory, intermediate and
advanced levels.

Logic
Design Technologies
ISE offers you a totally integrated package with tools for
Design Entry, Synthesis, Implementation and Configuration,
Verification, and Board Level Integration. ISE also offers tools
for Advanced Design Techniques for those super savvy design
engineers.
Design
Entry
ISE provides support for today's most popular methods for
design capture including HDL and schematic entry, integration of
IP cores as well as robust support for reuse of your own IP.
Synthesis
ISE takes your conceptual Hardware Description Language (HDL)
design definition and generates the logical or physical
representation for the targeted silicon device and even allows
for designs that contain a mixture of VHDL and Verilog.
Implementation & Configuration
ISE Programmable logic design implementation assigns the
logic created during design entry and synthesis into specific
physical resources of the target device
Verification
ISE offers you total verification, the ability to address most
every type of design debug at any point in the design flow, from
static timing analysis to support for equivalency checking
formal verification.
Board
Level Integration
ISE provides intensive support to help you ensure your
programmable logic design works in context of the entire system.
Advanced
Design Techniques
ISE provides optional software that helps you to be
successful in the high-density design environment |
