CADSTAR FPGA

Preview CADSTAR FPGA - 30 Day Evaluation Version

CADSTAR FPGA combines Aldec’s Active-HDL Lite design simulation environment and Zuken’s desktop PCB design suite, CADSTAR. You can work on comprehensive FPGA designs with complete support for technology from multiple FPGA vendors including Actel, Altera, Lattice, Quicklogic and Xilinx. It also performs mixed VHDL and Verilog simulation, strictly adhering to the latest IEEE language standards.

CADSTAR FPGA, provides one universal project manager that controls all design files for simulation, synthesis, place and route and pin assignment to the PCB. This integrated solution supports robust I/O synchronization between the FPGA device and the PCB, helping you to optimize routing patterns for high-density devices like BGAs. Included in this you also get the opportunity to experience Zuken's advanced P.R.Editor XR 2000 for CADSTAR.  

Evaluation Copy Limitations

Please be aware that the evaluation copy has some limitations, compared to the full commercial release these limitations are:

  • Simulation run time is limited to 2 ms
  • Performance limitation 6x slowdown (up to 2,000 design instances)
  • Performance limitation 20x slowdown (2001 upon 10,000 design instances)
  • Ceiling limitation - above 10,000 instances - simulation runs at 1% of full commercial release
  • Full details of other limitations are available in the FPGA datasheet

NOTE: To complete the installation of CADSTAR FPGA, you are required to submit your MAC address.

This can be submitted within the 'My Profile' area of the website.

How to find your MAC Address

CADSTAR FPGA requires your MAC address to complete the installation. You can find your MAC address  details by following these simple steps:

  • If you have TCP/IP installed, run ipconfig/all from a Command Prompt window.
    • (click Start, then Run, then type cmd in the text box.)
  • Type in ipconfig/all in the Command Prompt Windows.
  • The 12-digit Physical Address is the same as MAC Address
