FPGA/CPLD from logic diagram?

  • Follow


Hi.Can anyone help?
I am completely new to FPGA's and wonder if any of the many PLD-type
manufacturers provides software to take a schematic/logic digram and enter this
in some way to compile the program for the chip, without having to start to
learn VHDL or Verilog. The circuit to be made into a chip would consiste of say
12 decade counters similar to the CD4518, 5 7-segment decoder similar to CD4511
and a few bits of random 'glue'.
TIA

The Altera Quartus software allows schematic entry.

You can download the free Webpack software from Xilinx website. This has ECS
schematic entry software included.
