An ASIC design flow is very similar to the FPGA flow illustrated in Fig 1 . The ASIC flow will, however, include many verification steps that are not present in the FPGA flow; each of these steps will ...

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 test-related multiplexing at the top level of an ASIC's RTL code is not ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Making its fourth run at FPGA synthesis, Synopsys Inc. has tweaked its Design Compiler ASIC synthesis tool to enable designers to use the same tools and potentially the same design ...

Incremental design flow FPGA design software has borrowed from asic design methodology and introduced an incremental design flow (fig 2). In this flow, users can partition their designs based on ...

The proposed Synopsys-Xilinx design flow would start with a C/C++ s ystem-level description that would eventually be translated into an FPGA place and route tool. One goal is to allow designers ...

DESIGN ANALYSIS An ASIC-like flow for FPGA design demands ASIC-like design analysis, and both FPGA vendors and EDA vendors have stepped up to the plate in this respect.

Hardware design using HLS is no different than the typical ASIC/FPGA design flow with the exception that C++/SystemC is being used along with HLS to create the RTL instead of hand coding it. The ...

At a Glance Obsolescence is a critical issue for FPGA-based systems within multiple industries and applications. To address these issues, Zero ASIC has launched the Platypus embedded FPGA (eFPGA) ...

Case in point: Actel's Libero IDE 6.2 adds native static timing analysis (STA), among other improvements, to an already ASIC-like FPGA design flow.
