An increasing amount of system-on-chip design activity today seems to target field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) rather than application-specific ICs. Often this is simply an intermediate target to ...

In the nanometer era, complex SoCs have higher risk of re-spins. Undoubtedly FPGA prototyping is the right way of pre-silicon SoC validation, accelerate system software development and to meet time-to ...

Rohit Goyal, Neha Singh; Freescale Semiconductor India Pvt. Ltd. Today, a lot of the system-on-chip (SoC) designs depend on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) as a way to accelerate verification, ...

Multi-FPGA prototyping of ASIC and SoC designs allows verification teams to achieve the highest clock rates among emulation techniques, but setting up the design for prototyping is complicated and ...

Gaps are widening in the prototyping of large, complex chips because the speed and capacity of the FPGA is not keeping pace with rapid rollout pace of advanced ASICs. This is a new twist for a ...

Ernie Smith is a former contributor to BizTech, an old-school blogger who specializes in side projects, and a tech history nut who researches vintage operating systems for fun. When it comes to major ...

If you are searching for a small form factor Field-Programmable Gate Array complete with Mini PCIe you might be interested in the upcoming launch of the TinyBeast FPGA. Offering a PolarFire FPGA in ...

FPGA prototyping platforms are growing in popularity because they are relatively low cost and have the ability to test system designs at speed versus simulation. Engineers often turn to two tools to ...

In this post, I focus on the compilation process in hardware emulators. Likewise, the design capacity in hardware emulators, also the compilation flow, is heavily dependent on the type of technology ...
