Overview of QuickLogic’s development software
QuickLogic provides a complete design environment for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designs. QuickLogic development software helps you increase productivity, shorten design cycles, achieve design performance and power requirements quickly and efficiently. QuickLogic provides tools to guide you from concept to silicon.
QuickWorks® supports Windows and Linux-based operating systems, and provides a comprehensive design environment ranging from schematic and HDL-base design entry, HDL language editors and tutorials, logic synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and simulation support. QuickLogic has partnered with Mentor Graphics and Aldec Inc. to provide industry leading synthesis and simulation tools, as well as provide an interface to other industry standard EDA tools.
In addition, QuickLogic provides various reference design kits and software development kits to shorten your verification cycles.
