When the design is ready to be placed in a fabric, the developer simply generates an Electronic Design Interchange Format ( EDIF ) netlist and imports it into his favorite toolkit.

* The Electronic Design Interchange Format, EDIF.

EDIF 3 0 0 is available from the International Electrotechnical Commission as IEC 61690-1

This more than doubled the size of EDIF 3 0 0, and is published in HTML format on CD.

EDIF 4 0 0 is available from the International Electrotechnical Commission as IEC 61690-2

The information model also suffered from the fact that it was not ( and is not ) ideally suited to describing EDIF.

Another dynamic in this industry is EDIF itself.

EDIF Version 3 0 0 is IEC / EN 61690-1, and EDIF Version 4 0 0 is IEC / EN 61690-2.

EDIF is probably the most famous of the net-based netlists.

EDIF netlisting is supported for the XC4000, Virtex, and Virtex-II series of FPGAs.

The general format of EDIF involves using parentheses to delimit data definitions, and in this way it superficially resembles Lisp.

* LKSoft took concepts from EDIF 2 0 0 to create a proprietary data format with the default extension ". cam " for their CircuitCAM system offered by LPKF Laser & Electronics AG.

* Zuken, formerly Racal-Redac Ltd., took concepts from the early EDIF 4 0 0 development to create a new proprietary format called CADIF for their Visula PCB-CAD system.

The netlist output can take any of many forms: a " simulation " netlist with gate-delay information, a " handoff " netlist for post-synthesis place and route, or a generic industry-standard EDIF format ( for subsequent conversion to a JEDEC-format file ).

The first " real " public release of EDIF was version 2 0 0, which was approved in March 1988 as the standard ANSI / EIA-548-1988.

* STEP-AP210, a part of ISO 10303, practically inherited all of the EDIF 4 0 0 functionality except for schematics.

The expectation was that with EDIF the number of translators could be reduced to the number of involved systems.

Representatives of the EDA companies Daisy Systems, Mentor Graphics, Motorola, National Semiconductor, Tektronix, Texas Instruments and the University of California, Berkeley established the EDIF Steering Committee in November 1983.

Later Professor Hilary Kahn ( 1943-2007 ) from the University of Manchester joined the team and led the development from version EDIF 2 0 0 till the final version 4 0 0.

The basic tokens of EDIF 2. 0. 0 were keywords ( like library, cell, instance, etc.

EDIF 3. 0. 0 and 4. 0. 0 dropped the symbolic constants entirely, using keywords instead.

So, the syntax of EDIF has a fairly simple foundation.

The 1 0 0 release of EDIF was made in 1985.

The industry tested this release for several years, but finally only the NETLIST view was the one widely used and some EDA tools are still supporting it today for EDIF 2 0 0.

EDIF 4 0 0 was released in late August 1996, mainly to add " Printed Circuit Board " extensions ( the original PCBLAYOUT view ) to EDIF 3 0 0.

To understand the problems users and vendors encountered with EDIF 2 0 0, one first has to picture all the elements and dynamics of the electronics industry.

EDIF was mainly supported by the electronics design end-users, and their companies.

Most of the EDA vendors produced EDIF 2 0 0 translators, but they were definitely more interested in generating high-quality EDIF readers, and they had absolutely no motivation at all to write any software that generated EDIF ( an EDIF Writer ), beyond threats from customers of mass migration to another vendor's software.
