Figure 1 — A typical ASIC flow. Figure 2 — A typical FPGA flow. As you can see by comparing figure 1 with figure 2, manual work that is often required to insert I/O buffers, boundary scan and ...

FPGA design flow to look like Asic flow, says Cadence. Cadence Design Systems is bidding to tackle the issue of closer interaction between hardware and software development. The design tool firm has ...

Today's extremely large and complex ASIC and FPGA designs use significant amounts of third-party intellectual property (IP). These IP blocks may represent general-purpose processor cores, digital ...

For some designs, even though it might seem that design will fit well in a single FPGA based on the ASIC gate count, but the design may still need to be partitioned because of the limited resources ...

One problem is that we all tend to have high levels of faith in various aspects of the FPGA design flow, but it's not long before we discover how unfounded this faith can be. In reality, bugs can ...

Therefore, for high volume designs, it is quite common to develop a design on an FPGA platform and, when functionality has stabilized, map that same design to an ASIC implementation. Since ...

HDL Verifier helps design verification engineers developing FPGA and ASIC designs to generate UVM components and test benches directly from Simulink. Contacts Sriya Kodial MathWorks (508) 647-2030 ...

When you think about it, logic synthesis is a vital but rather intimidating part of modern chip design. This process takes a high-level description of intended functionality, written in an RTL ...

This FPGA-Synthesis Tool Offers The Prototyping Capabilities Required By RF-Intensive Systems And A Migration Path To ASIC Product Design. Over a third of all high-end ASIC designers now use FPGAs ...

MathWorks couples MATLAB with FPGA design flow MathWorks has coupled its MATLAB design tool more closely to FPGA design. It has introduced a software tool which automatically generates HDL code from ...
