Synplicity Synplify & Synplify Pro

Synplicity Synplify & Synplify Pro by Synplicity Inc. is a premier software in the Development Tools category, specifically under IDE subcategory. The latest version, 8.8.0.4, offers a host of advanced features conducive to producing high-performance, cost-efficient FPGA designs. The software executable files include synplify.exe, and synplify_pro.exe.

One of the remarkable features of Synplify Pro FPGA synthesis software, which is part of the Synopsys FPGA design solution, is its use of Behavior Extracting Synthesis Technology (BEST™). This exclusive technology performs optimization at a high level before synthesizing the RTL code into specific FPGA logic. This innovative approach ensures superior optimization, faster runtimes, and the capacity to support very large designs.

For those interested in Development Tools IDE, Synplify Pro’s capabilities include incremental, block-based, and bottom-up flows, crucial for consistent results across multiple runs. This allows for verifiable and traceable workflows, meeting safety-critical design and DO-254 compliance. Additionally, it features design supports for high reliability with safe finite state machines and custom error detection and mitigation controls.

Users can capitalize on automatic compile points incremental flow for up to 4x faster runtime while maintaining Quality of Results (QoR). There is also comprehensive language support encompassing Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, VHDL 2008, and mixed-language design. The FSM Compiler and FSM Explorer facilitate the automatic extraction and optimization of finite state machines from RTL, with a graphical state machine viewer for easy debugging and documentation.

Furthermore, automatic memory and DSP inference ensure optimal area, power, and timing quality of results. The incremental static timing analysis feature allows for updates to timing exception constraints with immediate visibility into results, without the need for re-synthesis. The HDL Analyst tool provides interactive graphical analysis for design diagnosis, problem isolation, and functional and performance analysis.

For user convenience, Synplify Synplify Pro, formerly known by aliases such as Synplicity Synplify Synplify Pro, is available in several versions aside from the latest 8.8.0.4; other versions include 8.8, 7.7, and 7.6. The software is available for free download, making it accessible to a larger group of developers.
