Description
Atmel’s Integrated Development System lets designers create fast, predictable de-
signs with AT6000 Series FPGAs.
Available for use on 486/Pentium, Sun Sparc, or HP workstation-based computers,
the Integrated Development System combines industry-standard software for design
entry and simulation with Atmel’s proprietary software for component generation,
automatic and interactive placement and routing, timing analysis, and bit stream gen-
eration.
The Integrated Development System design flow is shown below. Pre-layout modules
verify design logic, place and route modules implement the design, and post-layout
modules reflect the design as it actually appears in silicon.
A Design Manager provides push-button access to each step in the flow. The Design
Manager’s simple user interface streamlines the design flow as it creates a seamless
design environment. Design data is stored in a unified database that eliminates the
need for data re-entry and translation.
The Integrated Development System Physical Design System includes a prototype kit
and Viewlogic PRO Series (PC) or PowerView (Sun) macro libraries. Viewlogic timing
and functional simulation is optional. Mentor, Verilog, Synopsys, Cadence, and Exem-
plar library/interface packages are also available.

AT6000 FPGA System Summary
The following is a summary of Integrated Development
System software, hardware, and annual maintenance
agreements. Detailed technical information is contained in
the individual product data sheets.
Atmel offers specially-priced University systems for se-
lected PC and Sun packages.
Sun-based packages
Viewlogic’s design tool family for Sun workstations is
called Powerview, and the schematic entry, gate simula-
tion, and text-based entry options are called ViewDraw,
ViewSim, and ViewSynthesis.
Atmel offers the following Powerview packages:
•
ATDS2120SN.
AT6000 Physical Design System with
Powerview Schematic Entry and Viewlogic Simulator
(20K gates)
•
FPGA Physical Design System
(ATDS2100PC/ATDS2100SN)
The AT6000 Physical Design System includes the Atmel
Design Manager with PLD interface and macro libraries
for Viewlogic schematic capture synthesis and functional
simulation. Tools are included for macro generation, inter-
active editing, design rule checking, automatic placement
and routing, timing analysis, bitstream generation, and
PROM file generation.
Base PC and Sun system requirements for the Physical
Design System are listed on the next page.

Library and Interface packages
Atmel offers several library and interface packages for
customers who wish to use the AT6000 Series Physical
Design System with third-party software from other com-
panies:
PC-based library/interface package
Physical Design System/Viewlogic Standalone
Packages.
Several AT6000 Series design tool packages combine the
Physical Design System with Viewlogic schematic capture
and functional simulation options.
PC-based packages
ATDS2140PC.
Exemplar Library & Interface for AT6000
Series Design System
Sun-based library/interface packages
Viewlogic’s PRO series for the PC includes PROcapture
(schematic entry), PROsim (gate simulation), and PRO-
synthesis (text-based entry).
Atmel offers the following PRO series packages:
•
ATDS2101PC.
AT6000 Series Physical Design Sys-
tem with PROcapture Schematic Entry
•
ATDS2110PC.

tem with PROcapture and PROSim Gate Simulation
(10K gates)
•
ATDS2120PC.
AT6000 Series Physical Design Sys-
tem with PROcapture and PROSim Gate Simulation
(20K gates)
Customers with Viewlogic restricted licenses may pur-
chase an Atmel 10K or 20K AT6000 Series Design Sys-
tem & Viewlogic restricted license upgrade.
A University system without a prototype kit is available for
the ATDS2100PC and ATDS2110PC.

Annual Maintenance Agreements
Annual Maintenance Agreements are available for each
package and option in the Integrated Development Sys-
tem. The first year of maintenance is included in the pur-
chase price; renewal is optional. Maintenance Agree-
ments give users direct access to Atmel’s experienced
technical support staff and cover software upgrades that
keep engineers on the leading edge of Atmel’s design
tools. See the individual product data sheets for ordering
and pricing information.
Extended maintenance agreements are not available for
University systems.

Prototype Kit
A Prototyping Kit is included in all PC Physical Design
System packages, except University systems. Additional
Prototype Kits can be ordered separately. Each kit in-
cludes a cable for downloading configuration data to a de-
vice and an AT-style board for prototyping designs.
Atmel now offers both 84-pin and 132-pin download
boards for use with the Prototype Kit or the designer’s tar-
get system. The boards can be attached to a host PC run-
ning the AT6000 series software.
Automatic Macro Generators
The AT6000 Physical Design System includes an innova-
tive tool that allows users to create from a large number of
datapath functions (multipliers, adders, accumulators).
The user specifies the parameters and the software
quickly generates a physical layout and schematic, and
reports worst case speed, area, and power consumption.
These functions are layout-independent and resusable.
