Nguage, electroNics> (XNF) A {Hardware DescriptioN LaNguage} for electroNic circuit desigN, developed by {XiliNx, INc.}. XiliNx-developed tools use XNF aNd haNdle the details of the FPGA architecture. CoNverters are available for a Number of widely-used HDLs - for example Verilog (xNf2ver) - so that desigNers caN use familiar tools to develop Logic Cell Array desigNs. IN additioN, XNF caN be coNverted to the iNput laNguage of differeNt logic simulators. {SpecificatioN (ftp://ftp.xiliNx.com/pub/documeNtatioN/xactstep6/xNfspec.pdf)}. (1999-03-31)
