SynaptiCAD Timing Analysis & Test Bench Generation Tools

Welcome to SynaptiCAD - your source for cutting edge timing diagram analysis and HDL test bench generation software. SynaptiCAD products are designed to fit seamlessly into any design flow and complement other EDA tools by supporting over 43 different simulator formats, including VHDL, Verilog, SPICE, VCD and TDML, as well as logic analyzer and pattern generator formats for Agilent Technologies (Hewlett Packard) and Tektronix test equipment. We currently offer six products: TimingDiagrammer Pro, WaveFormer Pro, DataSheet Pro, VeriLogger Pro and TestBencher Pro and GigaWave Viewer.

For the budget conscious engineer, we provide TimingDiagrammer Pro, a powerful feature-laden timing diagram editor with an unbeatable price. TimingDiagrammer Pro analyzes your design in the early stages - before you have a schematic - and performs true min/max analysis to eliminate timing violations and race conditions. Draw waveforms with seven different logic states, then add delays, holds, setups and text. TimingDiagrammer Pro automatically calculates critical paths, displays timing violations and allows "what-if" analyses to determine the optimum clock speed. Inserting diagrams into word processors and other documentation tools is painless thanks to a wide variety of image capture formats and OLE support.

WaveFormer Pro combines all the features of TimingDiagrammer Pro with a stimulus generator, and an interactive HDL simulator to form a groundbreaking EDA tool that should be in every digital designer’s tool kit. WaveFormer Pro allows you to automatically generate and simulate timing diagrams using VHDL, Verilog, Boolean or registered logic equations. WaveFormer Pro also generates simulation-ready VHDL, Verilog, SPICE, ABEL, Xilinx and Altera stimulus code from timing diagrams, and imports waveforms from simulators (HDL or gate level), logic analyzers or VCD files.

DataSheet Pro provides documentation professionals with a more efficient environment for the management of documents containing multiple timing diagrams. This product uses Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) to provide immediate in-place editing of timing diagrams. Other features include style sheets, view support, direct web file generation, project management, and support for the industry-standard Timing Diagram Markup Language (TDML) format.

VeriLogger Pro is a new type of Verilog simulation environment that combines all the features of a traditional Verilog simulator with the most powerful graphical test vector generator on the planet. Model testing is so fast in VeriLogger Pro that you can perform true bottom-up testing of every model in your design, a critical step often skipped in the race to market.

TestBencher Pro generates reactive Verilog and VHDL test benches from language independent timing diagrams drawn by the user. TestBencher Pro users have direct access to the HDL code generation routines, so users can add their own routines (or modify existing routines) to generate HDL code that meets their own unique test bench requirements. TestBencher Pro contains all the features found in WaveFormer Pro.

Gigawave Viewer combines SynaptiCAD's WaveViewer with our high-performance gigawave compression engine to create the lowest cost waveform viewer capable of handling multi-gigabyte VCD files. Gigawave viewer also comes with a PLI-based library (coming soon) that can be integrated with your favorite simulator to generate highly compressed BTIM files. Using BTIM waveform dumping can speed up simulation by up to 3x over dumping using an ordinary VCD dump and the resulting files are generally 100x smaller. BTIM files also load much faster than VCD files (typically around 500x faster)! GigaWave also loads SPICE results, TDML, logic analyzer data, and more.
