Abstract :
The evolutionary nature of product development often leads to the re-use of portions of previous designs. With the latest programmable logic development systems, technology migrations are supported in multiple ways. High-level languages and the latest synthesis tools allow a high-level description of a design to be easily targeted to an FPGA or CPLD architecture. For schematic entry, "portable" library symbols that can be mapped to multiple architectures provide for migrations between differing programmable logic devices
