MSC now offers Lattice Diamond 1.3 design software. Up to 15 percent higher speeds with the same design can be achieved with release 1.3 of the Lattice Diamond design software, which is specifically optimized to enhance support for Lattice-s low power MachXO2 devices. Lattice Diamond 1.3 software now provides device resource utilization for each logical level of the design hierarchy following synthesis, and enables users to make early design decisions about how to structure their design so that they can optimize utilization of the overall device. Furthermore, simulation files can be implemented, if required. The simulation wizard can automatically determine which files should be set to simulation and pass the correct options to the simulator. In addition, the synthesis design constraints flow is now more intuitive and allows for multiple files that can be managed similar to the back-end preference files. And, when using the Reveal(TM) Analyzer, Lattice Diamond-s on-chip debugger, users can now download large trace data amounts and configure complex trigger setups more than 10 times faster than previously possible. Lattice Diamond 1.3 software is also now integrated with Lattice-s PAC-Designer® 6.1 mixed signal design tools, providing design support for Lattice-s programmable mixed signal Platform Manager(TM) devices. This means that the digital control functions in Verilog or VHDL within the Platform Manager can be implemented directly with Lattice Diamond 1.3. For detailed information about the free test version of the Lattice Diamond 1.3 and the full version, which in addition to full mixed language support (VHDL and Verilog) also includes access to Lattice SERDES FPGAs such as for example ECP3 as well as an open Lattice OEM Aldec mixed language simulator, please send an email to prolog-lattice@msc-ge.com.
