Mentor Graphics Precision Synthesis v2009a

Advanced FPGA SynthesisPrecision Synthesis is the most advanced synthesis tool for all FPGA applications including complex designs and ASIC prototyping. Precision Synthesis forms the centerpiece of Mentor Graphics FPGA flow — the industry’s most comprehensive vendor-independent solution for FPGA design.

Precision Synthesis provides high quality of results, interactive design flows and award winning analysis. These capabilities reduce design iterations, and enable faster, more predictable completion of designs.
Precision RTL provides an intuitive logic synthesis environment and forms the centerpiece of the Mentor Graphics vendor-independent FPGA flow.

With a rich feature set that includes advanced optimizations, award-winning analysis, and industry-leading language support, Precision RTL enables vendor-independent design, accelerates time to market, eliminates design defects, and delivers superior quality of results (QoR).
