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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is easier said than done, however. There isn’t a button to press to make that happen. However, macros can help in embedded FPGA designs, especially where there are large portions of the design ...

The paper titled ‘FPGA to ASIC Strategy for Communication SoC Designs’ [3], explores the key issues of SoC design: Cost, TTM, Capacity, Performance, Power, Quality and IP integration. Due to the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
