ProChip Designer Atmel Software Suite OVERVIEW Description The Atmel® ProChip Designer® v5.0.1 is a fully featured EDA software suite incorporating state-of-the-art synthesis and simulation tools from Mentor Graphics with the Atmel user-friendly interface and design navigator, as well as, powerful fitter technologies. The combination of these tools enables CPLD designers to achieve the highest possible logic utilization from the Atmel ATF15xxAS/ASL/ASV/ASVL/BE (1) series CPLDs with Logic Doubling® features. Through all of the software components available within ProChip, the following features are supported:  Design Entry and Synthesis ̶ VHDL Verilog CUPL (2) Schematic (2) ̶ ̶ ̶  Simulation VHDL Functional and Timing Simulation (3) Verilog Functional and Timing Simulation (3) CUPL Functional Simulation (2) ̶ ̶ ̶  Device ATF15xxBE:(1) 1.8V ultra-low-power CPLD ATF15xxAS/ASL: 5.0V standard and low-power CPLD ATF15xxASV/ASVL: 3.0V standard and low-power CPLD ̶ ̶ ̶  Programming ̶ JTAG ISP 1. The ATF15xxBE is not recommended for new design. 2. Optional and requires Altium software. 3. Optional and requires a separate license from Mentor Graphics. Atmel-3628D-PLD-ProChip-Designer-Software-Suite-Overview_052016 Features ProChip Designer seamlessly integrates the following software components into one user-friendly Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the ATF15xx CPLDs: ProChip Designer Software Components Precision® RTL Synthesis (Atmel-OEM version) VHDL and Verilog® synthesis supports from Mentor Graphics®. ModelSim® (Optional*) (Atmel-OEM version) VHDL and Verilog simulation supports from Mentor Graphics. *Requires a separate Mentor Graphics license. FIT15xx Fitting support for the ATF15xx CPLDs from Atmel. HDL Planner VHDL and Verilog design entry and text editing supports from Atmel. ATMISP JTAG In-System programming (ISP) support from Atmel. The following optional third-party software from Altium® can be installed separately and can be used independently or in conjunction with ProChip Designer for schematic and CUPL® designs: Optional Third-party Software Protel® Design Explorer 99SE (Atmel Edition) 2 Schematic and CUPL design entries, synthesis, and functional simulation supports from Altium.

ProChip Designer Software Suite Components and Licensing Terms The software components within ProChip Designer are divided into two groups:   Schematic/CUPL Design Flow VHDL/Verilog Design Flow These two software groups, their contents, licensing terms, and ordering code are described in Table 1-1 below. Table 1-1. ProChip Designer Contents and Licensing Terms Design Flow Schematic/CUPL Design Flow VHDL/Verilog Design Flow Note: 1.1 1. Software Components Licensing Term ProChip Designer with HDL Planner, Atmel Fitter, and ATMISP. Free Altium Design Explorer 99SE. Permanent License [P/N: ATDS1500PC] ProChip Designer with HDL Planner, Atmel Fitter, and ATMISP. Free Mentor Graphics Precision RTL Synthesis (Atmel-OEM version). 2-year License [P/N: ATDS15xxKSW1] Mentor Graphics ModelSim (Atmel-OEM version). Contact Mentor Graphics The Atmel software tools are supported on Microsoft® Windows® 7/8/10 operating systems. The details of the operating system supports for other vendors’ tools can be obtained from the third-party tool vendors’ websites or documentation. Default Installation of Software Components By default, the installation of ProChip Designer includes the installation of the following software components:      HDL Planner ATF15xx Fitters ATMISP Precision RTL Synthesis ModelSim Unlike ProChip Designer v4.0, the installation of Altium tools are no longer included in ProChip Designer v5.0.1 installer. Optionally, Protel Design Explorer 99SE can be installed separately, and it can be used independently or in conjunction with ProChip Designer v5.0.1 for schematic and CUPL designs.

License requests can be submitted to Atmel for evaluation on-line at the following URL: www.atmel.com/System/BaseForm.aspx?target=tcm:26-17233 The 2-year license for Precision RTL Synthesis (Atmel OEM version) can also be purchased from an Atmel distributor. Table 1-2. Mentor Graphics Precision RTL Synthesis License 2-year License Atmel Ordering Code Precision RTL Synthesis (Atmel OEM version) ATDS15xxKSW1 Once a license has been purchased, instructions on how to download ProChip Designer from the Atmel website and how to obtain the license file will be mailed.. Atmel no longer provides licenses for the Mentor Graphics ModelSim software. Please contact Mentor Graphics for information on how to obtain the appropriate license for ModelSim if VHDL/Verilog simulation is required. 1.2.2 Altium Protel Design Explorer 99SE The 30-day trial version of Altium Protel Design Explorer 99SE is no longer available, and the Licensed Edition of Altium Protel Design Explorer 99SE must be ordered separately. The Atmel Licensed Edition of Altium Protel Design Explorer 99SE can be ordered from an Atmel distributor and the Atmel. Table 1-3. Altium Protel Design Explorer 99SE License Permanent License Atmel Ordering Code Altium Protel Design Explorer 99SE ATDS1500PC Once a license has been purchased, instructions on how to obtain ProChip Designer and Protel Design Explorer 99SE along with a 16-digit Access Code (permanent license) will be mailed. Users can then follow the instructions provided to install the Licensed Edition software.
