Abstract :
Users of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) can now find easy-to-use development tools with powerful verification and optimization capabilities. The author discusses the features of these design tools. The author discusses logic synthesis and instantiation. The way in which such tools are used is also discussed.<>
