Synplify Pro for Lattice - Synthesis from Synplicity

synplify pro screen shot - thumb Synplify Pro for Lattice synthesis is a high-performance, sophisticated logic synthesis engine that delivers fast, highly efficient FPGA designs. The simple user interface and powerful synthesis engine combine to deliver optimal results quickly.
Synplify Pro for Lattice is included with ispLEVER and ispLEVER PRO. Synplify for Lattice is included with ispLEVER Starter and Classic. The table below describes the differences between these two tools.

ABEL-HDL Compiler for CPLDs and SPLDs

ABEL-HDL is a hierarchical logic description language to to describe digital designs with equations, truth tables, state diagrams, or any combination of the three. The ABEL-HDL Compiler will optimize design logic and produce BLIF format output for Lattice device fitters. ABEL-HDL is ideal designers new to programmable logic design. The ispLEVER ABEL-HDL Compiler supports the following device families: ispMACH 4000Z, ispMACH4000V/B/C, ispMACH 4A5, ispGAL, and GAL.
