Silicon Partners

Mentor Graphics partner programmes bring together world class silicon vendors, HDL Design Tool software and IP vendors to benefit our mutual customers. Consequently the support we offer for simulation, synthesis and tool integration spans the full range of FPGA and ASIC vendors with a wealth of capabilities to ensure your success in implementing designs in silicon.

This page aims to consolidate the information you may require on our FPGA and ASIC partners with contact information, library availability and integration of place and route. Further technical information may also be found on the support pages of this site, or via email to support@saros.co.uk.

Simulation Libraries

ModelSim is the industry standard VHDL simulator, along with this, ModelSim offers you the broadest support for VITAL sign-off libraries. In addition to VITAL, the VHDL gate-level standard, ModelSim's Verilog implementation has broad support. With the introduction of the high-capacity and high-performance Verilog gate-level features in release 5.5, the number of semiconductor suppliers that support or sign-off with ModelSim has grown.

A complete list of semiconductor companies and libraries that support ModelSim for FPGA and ASIC design can be found using the SVP search form. A listing of VITAL and Verilog gate-level libraries you can use with ModelSim are detailed with an easy-to-use search mechanism to locate the vendors, technologies, and library types which match your needs.

Synthesis Libraries

Leaonardo Spectrum is probably the most widely supported synthesis tool in the FPGA Design community. A number of vendors include single vendor "OEM" versions of Leonardo Spectrum as an integrated part of their own development tool suite, and all commercially available FPGA technologies are supported within the tool. A large number of ASIC libraries are also supported.
