choose the software according to your project. xilinx is used for coding, but for simulating circuits and to generate schematic it is not suitable. for circuit designing you can use hspice, mentor graphics..

Hi manikandan,

Ya I agree with dillikumar for research purpose you have to use standard tool used in company like mentor graphics.

Mentor Graphics: Tool handling is easy, you can develop schematic etc...
