CompLib Graphical VHDL Generator Now Integrated with CAST Synthesizable Models.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 1996-- Design Automation Conference--Hantro Products Oy, Finland, today announced the integration of synthesizeable VHDL models from CAST Inc. with Hantro's CompLib graphical VHDL generator.

CompLib combines familiar graphical design functions, automatic VHDL generators, and VHDL model libraries to help traditional FPGA designers shift to top-down design using VHDL. It enables the graphical placement and interconnection of hierarchical design compoenents, and it produces standard VHDL compatible with popular simulators and synthesizers.

CompLib 1.1 now includes symbols and a selection window for SCVL-S, the Synthesizeable Standard Component VHDL Library from CAST, Inc. Users add flip flops, ALUs, counters, encoders and other SCVL-S parts to their designs by simply selecting the model from the integrated list, placing the symbol on the schematic, and graphically connecting its signals.

CompLib 1.1 is shipping now, at a suggested prioce of $1495. Other new features in this version include support for Windows 95 and NT, improved design management functions, and faster performance. Pricing for the optional CAST models varies by region.

Hantro is showing CompLib 1.1 in the CAST booth at DAC (#2360). Also see Hantro's Web pages for more information and a demo (http://www.hantro.com), and see CAST's web pages for details on SCVL-S (http://www.cast-inc.com).

Since its founding in 1985, Hantro has supported advanced techniques for electronic design throughout Finland with design outsourcing, educational services, methodology consulting, and VAR distribution of key VHDL products.
