Mapping from a field programmable gate array (FPGA) to an application specific IC (ASIC) is subject to some limitations. This white paper identifies some of the most common limitations in this mapping ...

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 ...

Following the road from ASIC to FPGA We are seeing a growing number of engineering teams transitioning from ASIC into FPGA design teams. Many of these teams would like to leverage the tools, flows, ...

Moreover, a common RTL code base must work inboth the eventual ASIC design flow and in the FPGA “IP demonstration”design flow, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. IP needs to be implemented on multiple ...
