The Alliance CAD System provides Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools that are specifically designed for Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design.
Among other things, Alliance comes packed with a VHDL compiler and simulator, automatic place and route tools, and a suite of logic synthesis tools. Additionally, you'll get access to a full range of portable CMOS libraries, all designed to help you make your design process more streamlined and efficient.
Beyond its impressive feature set, Alliance has been used on some high-profile projects, such as the 875,000-transistor StaCS superscalar microprocessor and the 400,000-transistor IEEE Gigabit HSL Router. So, you can rest assured that it's up to the task of handling even the most complex VLSI design projects.
Covering almost all digital design flow aspects, the CAD toolset contained in Alliance is comprehensive to say the least. You'll be able to take advantage of a wide range of features and functions, including RTL and logic synthesis, macro-cell generation, and layout edition tools. You'll also be able to perform netlist extraction and verification, as well as design rule checking, among other things.
Overall, if you're looking for a robust and highly capable CAD toolset, you'll find that Alliance is hard to beat. With its impressive range of features and functions, it's an excellent choice for anyone looking to streamline their VLSI design process.
