Hi, I wanted to know if there's any simulator like proteus for FPGAs, like where we can have a FPGA interfaced with some other ICs or LCD etc and without implementing it on hardware, we can see the output on simulator.
Like in proteus we can have different microcontrollers, LCDs and other ICs, and see if our code is working properly.
Regards

Yes, you build simulation models of the other hardware on the board in VHDL (or Verilog) and run it through your usual simulator.
I generally have ADCs and DACs using real as the analog voltage, and LCD panels using string as the display.

Hi, almost any HDL simulator can do board level simulation, provided you have models for the stuff you want to attach to your FPGA. Here's a site where you can find a number of simulation models to begin with:
Sometimes IC vendors provide you with simulation models of their devices too. Also some EDA vendors have collections of simulation models, but they want to be paid of course (e.g. Synopsys smartmodels)
Have a nice simulation Eilert
