Designer – Actel s Design Implementation Software

Designer is Actel s powerful physical implementation software tool suite. After completing design entry and functional verification using Libero IDE tools or your favorite front-end design tools, simply import the resulting netlist into Designer to set timing constraints and performing place-and-route, timing analysis, power analysis, and program file generation.

Designer provides full power optimization and analysis tools for Actel s low-power flash FPGA families, including the IGLOO/e 1.2 V devices—the lowest power FPGAs on the market.

Actel s Designer software offers an easy-to-use design implementation solution for all Actel FPGA devices. It gives you the flexibility either use Libero IDE s integrated tools or other EDA tools from partners such as Synplicity, Mentor Graphics, Synopsys, Cadence, and many other top names in the EDA field.
