The Actel designer and design advantage systems are high-productivity, computer-aided engineering environments for the Actel family of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These design tools are fully automatic and with version 3.0, provide fully deterministic timing. Features include : design mapping, device place and route, VHDL synthesis, macro generation, timing analysis and programming.
