(programmable logic device See PLD. ) design. This suite of tools, based exclusively on VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. and Verilog standards, is targeted for the PC environment and expected to be released in Q1 1999. The tools will include enhanced VHDL and Verilog synthesis as well as advanced simulation and integrated management capabilities.
