Product Datasheet - Concept Engineering - GateVision
GateVision®
GateVision® is a standalone graphical netlist analyser that allows intuitive design navigation, schematic viewing, logic cone extraction, interactive logic cone viewing, and design documentation. GateVision's easy-to-read schematics and schematic fragments provide excellent debug support and accelerate the debug process. GateVision is designed to meet today's complex system-on-chip demands and seamlessly fits into any EDA design environment where design data is stored in either Verilog or EDIF netlist format.

Schematic Fragment Viewing
| GateVision's unique logic cone features facilitate interactive navigation within just that portion of the circuit or schematic fragment that is most important for the job at hand. User-controlled extension and reduction of the schematic fragments allow compelling signal path tracing through the complete design hierarchy. GateVision comes with a complete set of built-in schematic fragment extraction capabilities including input cone extraction, output cone extraction, and a powerful user-configurable cone extraction method. This provides easy insight into the analysed circuit, eases design debugging and increases the productivity of the logic designer. | ;) Select graphic for a larger picture |

Context-sensitive menus show the operations that are currently available and make it easy to quickly extract the design fragments that are needed to understand or to fix even the most complex problems within the design. It is also possible to mark a specific component as a target component and let GateVision explore paths between the target component and any other selected components. |
When Performance Counts
| Concept Engineering's proprietary schematic generation algorithms and on-the-fly schematic creation guarantee highest speed and design capacity, and at the same time provide easy-to-read schematic diagrams. Anticipating the explosion in design sizes, Concept Engineering has designed GateVision to handle today's multi-million gate designs. |  |
Easy-to-use GUI
The powerful and easy-to-use search tool within GateVision provides quick access
to any object or group of objects in your design. Once a search operation is
executed, the results are stored in a result list. From
there, objects can instantly be highlighted or moved into the logic cone window.

Plug and Play
As a best-in-class, plug-and-play point tool, GateVision can effectively serve as a fast and robust visualisation engine that seamlessly fits into various EDA design flows.
