Aldec history
Aldec company history timeline
Microsoft Windows became a popular Operating System and Aldec introduced support in 1992 for Windows with the Active-CAD tools for schematic capture and gate level simulation.
FPGA vendor Xilinx offered a version of Active-CAD named Foundation starting in 1996 that worked only on Xilinx designs.
Aldec added VHDL support in 1997 with the Active-VHDL product, then Verilog support with the Active-HDL product name.
For the first 15 years Aldec products ran on Microsoft operating systems, then in 2000 two new platforms were added: Solaris and Linux.
The next year in 2001 the first hardware accelerator for HDL simulation was added, called the HES Platform(Hardware Emulation System).
A new design rule and linting tool called ALINT launched in 2008 and analyzes Verilog and VHDL source code.
In 2010 the popular Active-HDL simulator was embedded into the Altium Designer tool.
Multiple verification standards arose, so in 2011 Aldec delivered support for: UVM 1.0, OVM 2.1.2 and VMM 1.1.1a.
New for 2012 is the HES-7 system for FPGA prototyping with a capacity of 4 to 96 million gates.
Rate how well Aldec lives up to its initial vision.
