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. |
Device Libraries
| ispLEVER includes device libraries for those who already have alternate versions of the above synthesis tools for any operating system. |
