вЂњBut I guess the saying is true, 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.' вЂќ вЂњSynopsys is identifying this as a big market a bit late in the game,вЂќ said Haines. Synopsys' FPGA Compiler II has been on the market since 1998. Haines pointed out that the company's high-end FPGA synthesis tool, Synplify Pro, which has been out for only a year, owns the high-end synthesis market-share lead. вЂњSynplicity should be or certainly will soon be aware that we are taking high-end FPGA seriously,вЂќ said Patterson.ДЄndy Haines, vice president of marketing for Synplicity, doesn't see Synopsys as a threat. Indeed, it appears that Synplicity's introduction of an ASIC synthesis tool to compete with Synopsys' Design Compiler at the Design Automation Conference in June is what woke the sleeping giant.

Synplicity Inc., which at one time offered stripped-down OEM versions of its Synplify tool, is now also going after the high-end FPGA market. And Synopsys no longer offers a version of FPGA Express supporting all FPGA vendors. did not renew its contract to OEM FPGA Express, leaving Xilinx the only reseller of the product. We will see even more changes going forward.вЂќДЄt the same time, Synopsys is deemphasizing its entry-level FPGA synthesis tool, FPGA Express.

вЂњIn past years we were competing with one arm tied behind our back, and now we are attacking it with our full ASIC flow and capabilities. вЂњWe have increased our investment in high-end FPGA, not only in synthesis but across the broad spectrum of tools,вЂќ said Patterson. The Mountain View, Calif., company is bringing more of its ASIC tool expertise into the high-end FPGA flow, she said. Synopsys is taking direct aim at the high-end FPGA tool space and especially Synplicity's market share lead, said Jackie Patterson, director of marketing programs for register transfer level (RTL) synthesis at Synopsys. The company recently announced it has developed links that will allow its formal verification, static timing and rule-checking ASIC tools to work with Xilinx Inc.'s ISE 4.1i tool suite, and is otherwise making forays into the FPGA tool market.Д«ut competitors and Gartner Dataquest analyst Gary Smith said the company may have a hard time passing Synplicity and Mentor Graphics, both of which jumped on the FPGA market opportunity early and are developing new technologies to capitalize on it. is now acting like a serious player in high-end FPGA design.

I've got the syntax above from Synopsys documentation and tried multiple switches with it such as trying to pull the 'source' from clock pin etc.

I compile the FPGA code using Synplify Pro and my clock constraints are on a. I do not have a way of using a core, pll or any other clock resource (as far as I know) to accomplish this. I have a 48Mhz clock coming in to my ProAsic3 FPGA which I divide down using a counter to 12Mhz.
