XACTstep Software Solutions include the powerful XACTstep design implementation software. This software supports the complete spectrum of design flows and offers the following key features.

  • Easy to use push button design flows
  • Powerful auto-interactive capabilities for design optimization
  • X-BLOX parameterized module design and synthesis
  • Integrated logic optimization and technology mapping
  • Timing driven placement and routing
  • Iterative design using guide options

All features are accessed through the easy to use XACTstep graphical user interface containing the Design Manager, Flow Engine, Timing Analyzer, Floorplanner, Hardware Debugger and PROM File Formatter.

 Design Manager
 The easy-to-use Design Manager manages all the underlying design files and features version control to simplify design iterations.
Design Manager


  Flow Engine
 The configurable Flow Engine provides push button design flows and allows the designer to control the implementation process using graphically based tools.
Fllow Engine


 Floorplanner*
 The graphically based hierarchical Floorplanner makes it easy to maximize a design's performance and density.
Floor Plan


 Timing Analyzer
 The interactive Timing Analyzer simplifies the complex task of analyzing a design's performance.
Time Analyzer


 Hardware Debugger
 The Hardware Debugger allows designers to view internal signals while the FPGA device is running in circuit, simplifying design debug.
