  14. WebPOWEREDCompetitive Analysis

  15. Altera E+MAX Software • Direct attack / response to WebPACK! • Claim to release CD version later this quarter • WebPACK CDs already in SEA & Japan! • Based on older MAX+PLUS II software • WebPACK is based on new iSE technology! • Do NOT have true HDL synthesis! • Converts to AHDL prior to opt, feature mismatch! • WebPACK has true VHDL/Verilog with XST! • No HDL simulation! • WebPACK has leader in Model Technology! • Single, large file for download (34 MB) • WebPACK has modular approach & IFTW • 6 month time based license • WebPACK is completely FREE!

  16. Lattice / VantisispDesignEXPERT - Starter • Supports devices < 600 macrocells • WebPACK supports all CPLD devices up to 960 macrocells • Based on ‘old’ Synario code & ‘very old’ ABEL • WebPACK is new iSE technology! • Xilinx owns ABEL! • Does NOT have HDL synthesis! • WebPACK has VHDL & Verilog synthesis with XST! • No HDL simulation! • WebPACK has leader in Model Technology! • 3 large files needed to download (18MB+20MB+17.6MB) • Must install all 3 files to use software! • WebPACK has modular approach & IFTW, largest file is <10MB • Time based license is required! • WebPACK is completely FREE!

  17. Competitive Analysis Altera synthesis converts VHDL / Verilog to AHDL prior to optimization!
