크게 FPGA와 ASIC으로 나누어서 본다.
사실 CPLD와 PLD (GAL)도 보면 좋겠는데 ㅋㅋ

FPGA Synthesis Tool
----------------------------------------------
Synopsys, FPGA Express
 - Window에서 동작 느림

Xilinx, Xilinx Synthesis Tool (XST)
 - Xilinx device만 지원

Mentor Graphics, Leonardo Spectrum
 - Solaris, Window 에서 동작

FPGA Place and Route Tool
------------------------------------------------------
Xilinx ISE

Asic Synthesis
Asic 합성이 된다면 74 TTL등 내가 원하는 library를 설정해서 합성이 될 수 있음을 의미한다.
