CAD tools are necessary for even the most rudimentaryhardware designs when the target technology is FPGA orVLSI. This paper presents an experiment in the use ofvendor-supplied vs. third-party tools, of high-level design(behavioral) vs. cell-based design, of technology tradeoffsamong different vendors, and of design styles amongdesigners. The experiment is a n-version hardware designproject, in which many designs were made from commonspecifications, using different CAD tools and design styles.Some interesting conclusions can be drawn regarding theprocess, and these conclusions show new trends in terms oftool capabilities and desirable design flows.
