The Actel DeskTOP is an alliance between three world
class suppliers - Actel, Synplicity, and VeriBest - bringing
together the best in FPGA silicon, synthesis, and simulation
to help designers solve their design challenges today and in
the future. Not simply three tools on one CD, the Actel
DeskTOP is a complete, integrated design environment - from
design entry to programmed parts.
The Actel DeskTOP supports schematic and HDL design flows,
and includes schematic and HDL entry tools, VeriBest
simulation, Synplify synthesis, and Actel place and route,
design verification, and device programming software. All of
this, is integrated into the VeriBest DesignView design
management environment.
That's right, you can design with the Actel DeskTOP free
for a 60 day evaluation. We also offer yearly
maintenance, which gives you access to updates, new
device families, and technical support, for an annual fee.
Sign up today through the Actel DeskTOP site for
the free Actel DeskTOP CD and request a license. Once you have
gotten your Actel DeskTOP installed and running with a
license, contact your Actel local distributor to purchase the
maintenance for $995.
Actel DeskTOP requires Windows NT or 95. See Minimum
System Requirements for further details. For more

The Actel DeskTOP Series
The basic Actel DeskTOP is an integrated development
environment for designers using less than 50K gates.
VeriBest's design entry tools support mixed-mode entry, giving
designers the flexibility to customize. Also included are
VeriBest's WaveBench, a graphical tool for automatic HDL
testbench generation and an integrated synthesis tool from
Synplicity. Additionally, Actel's Designer Series offers place
and route, timing analysis, programming, and design
verification, enabling easy design implementation for Actel
FPGAs.
Actel DeskTOP is just the beginning. Actel is committed to
providing tools for all levels and needs, from junior
engineers to experienced FPGA designers:
Actel DeskTOP Verilog Simulator
Option is an upgrade that adds Verilog design entry and
simulation (up to 50K gates) to any DeskTOP product.
DeskTOP Pro increases the design simulation limit to
400K with unlimited synthesis, giving designers a migration
path as their skills and density requirements increase.
DeskTOP also includes VeriBest's State Diagram Editor for
generating graphical state machines in high level design and
Synplicity's SCOPE HDL Constraints Editor, which allows the
designer to set timing constraints in the HDL code.
DeskTOP Open is ideal for ASIC designers who are
starting to use FPGAs in their designs, but have already
invested in synthesis tools. DeskTOP Open offers flexibility
by allowing designers to choose their own synthesis tool from
the industry leading synthesis vendors.
In addition, Actel offers Designer Synplify, which
includes unlimited synthesis capabilities with Synplicity's
Synplify for Actel, and full place and route with Actel's
Designer Advantage tools.
Actel also offers yearly DeskTOP Maintenance for all
DeskTOP products, which gives you access to updates, new
device families, and technical support for an annual fee. To
purchase or upgrade any Actel DeskTOP product, contact an
Actel representative or Actel customer service at
(408) 739-1010 or customer.service@actel.com.
