New capabilities of EASE 5.2 provide best in class design solutions for the digital design
engineers working on ASIC and/or FPGA designs.

HDL Works announces the release of version 5.2 of EASE, the ideal design entry environment for VHDL, Verilog and mixed language designs for FPGA and ASIC. Synthesis and simulation tool independency enables the user to select his most favorite tools while setting-up a complete design flow. EASE continues to be the most intuitive design entry environment in the market, while offering all necessary features for both advanced and novice HDL designers.

What's new in EASE 5.2

Many improvements have been made in this new version. These changes include Tcl driven version management with support for ClearCase, RCS and Synchronicity Design Sync, Verilog 2001 support and a new project browser.

About EASE

Todays designs are getting complexer and bigger, thus the designers need tools that enable them to build and manage these designs as if they were simple and small. EASE simplifies the coding and debugging stage of the flow and enables design groups to quickly produce state of the art design code which is easy to overlook and maintain. EASE offers the best of both worlds with your choice of graphical or text based HDL entry, while automatically generating optimized HDL c ode in your preferred language - VHDL or Verilog. Industry standard version control environments deal with design and configuration management enabling multiple users to work simultaneously on the same EASE project. EASE is designed to improve productivity and communication in design teams.

Availability and Pricing

EASE 5.2 is now available. Prices begin at US$4,000. An evaluation copy can be downloaded from the company's web site: www.hdlworks.com.
