The CadEnhance Symbol Description Language (SDL) Enables enables the Librarian or Engineer user to Describe describe the Layout layout of pins and symbols from at a very high level. It supports looping constructs and pin-name pattern matching which enables features designers haven't seen before in symbol creation tools. For example using one 45 line SDL file, you can create the symbol files a very functional set of symbols for ANY FPGA device in the Xilinx Virtex7 part FPGA family (some with over 2000 pins), and similar . Similar SDL files will provide support for Altera(Intel) and Lattice part families. While very powerful, the SDL is also very intuitive and simple to create.
Here In these pages, we will cover the syntax and structure of the SDL, but in order to remove the intimidation factor, we will first show a few examples
A Few Examples:
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
#SDL FOR DRAM PART
#start symbol named DRAM_PINS
DRAM_PINS=
left=>clk_p
left=>clk_n
!BSS+2=>
PSG_dq_w0:left=>dq[7:0]
left=>spacer[1:0]
clock:left=>dqs0
bubble:left=>enb_n0
PSG_dq_w1:right=>dq[15:8]
right=>spacer[1:0]
clock:right=>dqs1
bubble:right=>enb_n1
;
#end symbol named DRAM_PINS
#start symbol named POWER
POWER=
LEFT=>VCCD
RIGHT=>VCC
;
#end symbol named POWER
#start symbol named GROUND
GROUND=
BOTH=>GND
;
#end symbol named GROUND
