Xilinx Netlist Format XNF <language, 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)
