Hardware Design Studio 3

Overview
HDS3 for Agilent SystemVue comprises fixed point simulation and analysis capabilities through FXP-Lib, a fixedpoint simulation library, and automatic HDL generation. Automatically generate HDL code for your FXP-Lib designs with HDL Design Studio (HDS); a powerful hardware design tool which extends the capabilities of SystemVue. HDS bridges the gap between DSP simulation and FPGA/ASIC implementation greatly increasing productivity. HDS is IC manufacturer and tool-flow independent giving you full control at every stage. Use FXP-Lib for SystemVue to design, simulate, analyze and optimize bit-true fixedpoint DSP systems. Then at the click of a button HDL Design Studio will automatically convert your design to synthesizable RTL VHDL. Furthermore HDS will generate a test bench to match the parameters of the SystemVue simulation and automatically invoke an HDL simulator.
