RapidRTL — Online VHDL & Verilog to Schematic Visualiser
RapidRTL is a free, browser-based tool that instantly converts VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog code into interactive circuit schematics. No installation, no signup — just paste your HDL code and see the schematic in seconds.
How It Works
- Write or paste HDL code — Supports VHDL (87/93/00/02/08), Verilog, and SystemVerilog with smart snippet inference.
- Click Generate — Your code is synthesised using industry-standard Yosys and GHDL tools.
- Explore the schematic — Pan, zoom, and inspect individual cells in the interactive diagram.
Key Features
- Smart Snippet Inference — No need to write full module/entity boilerplate. RapidRTL automatically infers ports and wraps your code.
- FPGA Vendor Targets — Synthesise for Xilinx 7-Series, Lattice iCE40/ECP5, Gowin, or Intel Cyclone IV.
- Gate-Level Decomposition — Drill down from high-level cells (MUX, adders, flip-flops) to AND/NOT primitives.
- Critical Path Analysis — Visualise the longest combinational path and identify timing bottlenecks.
- Latch Detection — Automatic warnings when unintended latches are inferred from your code.
- Resource Statistics — See gate counts, flip-flop usage, and LUT utilisation at a glance.
- Dark & Light Themes — Comfortable viewing in any environment.
- Mobile Responsive — Works on tablets and phones with a dedicated mobile inspector.
Who Is RapidRTL For?
- Students learning digital logic design and HDL languages
- Engineers prototyping circuits without heavy vendor tools
- Educators demonstrating combinational and sequential logic in lectures
- Hobbyists exploring FPGA development and hardware description
Supported Languages
RapidRTL supports the three major hardware description languages used in digital design:
- VHDL — Standards 87, 93, 00, 02, and 08. Includes automatic Synopsys library detection.
- Verilog — IEEE 1364 compliant with full synthesis support.
- SystemVerilog — Synthesisable subset for modern digital design.
Powered by Open-Source Tools
RapidRTL uses industry-proven open-source synthesis tools under the hood:
- Yosys — The open synthesis suite for Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- GHDL — The open-source VHDL analyser and compiler.
- netlistsvg — Converts JSON netlists into clean SVG schematics.
