VHDL Memory Model Output File (.vmo) A
Compiler-generated VHDL standard
netlist file (with the extension .vmo) that
contains VHDL simulation models. The
Compiler automatically generates a VHDL
Memory Model Output File for the project
when it generates an EDIF Output File
(.edo) that contains one or more RAM or
ROM blocks.
VHDL Output File (.vho) A VHDL standard
netlist file (with the extension .vho) that is
generated by the VHDL Netlist Writer
module of the Compiler. This file can be
exported to an industry-standard VHDL
simulator for simulation. A VHDL Output
File cannot be compiled with the
MAX+PLUS II Compiler.
VITAL (VHDL Initiative Toward ASIC
Libraries) An industry-standard format
for VHDL simulation libraries.
MAX+PLUS II provides VHDL cell
simulation models that are compliant with
VITAL version 2.2b and version 3.0
(VITAL 95). In addition, the EDIF, VHDL,
and Verilog Netlist Writer modules of the
MAX+PLUS II Compiler can generate an
optional Standard Delay Format (SDF)
Output File (.sdo) for use with VITAL-
compliant simulation libraries.
VMO File see VHDL Memory Model
Output File.
W
Waveform Design File (.wdf) A graphical
waveform design file (with the extension
.wdf) created with the MAX+PLUS II
Waveform Editor. This file represents logic
with high (1), low (0), undefined (X), and
high-impedance (Z) waveforms. It can also
include state machines with waveforms
that represent different state names.
waveform interval In the Waveform
Editor, an interval is a segment of a node or
group waveform that represents its logic
level or state name over a specific period of
time.
WDF see Waveform Design File.
X
Xilinx Netlist Format (XNF) File (.xnf) A
netlist file (with the extension .xnf)
generated by Xilinx software. XNF Files
that are generated by running the Xilinx
LCA2XNF utility can be compiled directly
by the MAX+PLUS II Compiler. An XNF
File can define all logic in a project, or be
incorporated at the bottom level in a
hierarchical project.
