FPGA-PCB co-design tool.The FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. Planner System is a scalable co-design solution for designing FPGAs onto PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. systems. The FPGA System Planner shortens the time it takes to integrate FPGAs on a PCB, enhances FPGA performance through the optimal utilization of FPGA resources and can reduce PCB manufacturing costs through a reduction in the number of PCB layers required to route dense, complex, large pin-count FPGAs. The technology is available in a series of scalable solutions from the OrCAD FPGA System Planner to the Allegro FPGA System Planner L, XL and GXL tiers, and is tightly integrated with OrCAD Capture, OrCAD PCB Designer, Allegro Design Entry HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. and Allegro PCB Design products.
