The Synopsys PrimeTime static timing analysis solution is the most trusted and advanced timing sign-off solution. It is the industry’s de-facto gold standard for gate-level static timing analysis and is a key component of the Galaxy Design Platform. It delivers to designers extensive timing analysis checks, advanced analysis techniques, golden delay calculator, advanced modeling, unmatched productivity and ease of use, a graphical user interface, and industry-wide sign-off support. |
| VCS |
Cyclone III users can perform functional and timing simulation with the Synopsys VCS software (PDF). VCS provides the most comprehensive functional verification solution in a single product, delivering up to 5x faster performance with Native Testbench, complete assertions and comprehensive coverage. In addition, VCS provides native support for SystemC, a broad portfolio of verification intellectual property (IP), and the industry-leading VMM methodology. With hundreds of customers using SystemVerilog with VCS to verify their production designs, VCS is the SystemVerilog market leader today. |
| Synplicity |
Synplify and Synplify Pro |
The Synplify Pro software features enhancements that allow customers to fully utilize the capabilities of Altera’s Cyclone III FPGAs. By using less logic to implement a Cyclone III FPGA design the Synplify Pro software can reduce design cost by enabling use of a smaller, less expensive device. The Synplify Pro software contains true timing-driven synthesis algorithms which work first to meet timing requirements, then to reduce the logic used while maintaining the timing requirement. With Synplify Pro and Cyclone III FPGAs, you will be able to achieve aggressive performance and cost objectives while, at the same time, differentiating your products in order to respond to changing market opportunities. |
| Zuken |
CR-5000 |
Zuken provides a library of Cyclone III FPGA footprints for CR-5000, the scalable and robust PCB and advanced packaging layout suite created for the small to large enterprise market. It incorporates the latest technology with a "Design for Manufacturability" methodology, which enables rules applied early in the design process to be maintained right through to manufacturing, ensuring products are right the first time and manufacturable the first time. |
| CR-5000 Lightning |
Zuken provides a library of Cyclone III FPGA footprints for CR-5000 Lightning, Zuken’s greatest innovation since CR-5000. CR-5000 Lightning is a powerful, fully integrated high-speed design prototyping software.
