FPGA-Based Prototyping - "Productivity to Burn"
This article highlights recent tool advances that can help you setup, implement, and verify your FPGA-based ASIC prototype faster than ever before.
Getting the most out of ASIC prototyping with FPGAs
This tutorial discusses various issues that must be taken into account when using an FPGA to prototype an ASIC or SoC design.
Hi def video scaler ASIC development from FPGA
How a high-definition video scaler ASIC implemented in a 0.18um standard cell technology was developed rapidly by starting with FPGA.
How to get the best cost savings when implementing an FPGA-to-ASIC conversion
Planning an FPGA-to-ASIC conversion requires that the ASIC vendor is involved as early as possible in order to achieve the best cost savings.
"Do's and Don'ts" when considering an FPGA to structured ASIC design methodology
FPGA prototyping is more successful for structured ASICs compared to standard cell ASICs when the structured ASIC mirrors the resources available on the FPGA.
FPGAs for prototyping - ASICs for production
This "How To" describes the items that must be considered during the initial FPGA design flow in order to ease a subsequent FPGA-to-ASIC migration.
Reality TV for FPGA design engineers!
This "How To" provides a lively discussion as to whether ASIC to low-cost FPGA migration is a myth or a reality!
Slaying the Zombie of Embedded Design
A big trend to watch in 2006 is the increasing use of hardware/software co-verificationthat is, verifying both the hardware and software simultaneouslyno insignificant feat. That's because past functional verification tools were too slow to run enough software to verify anything practical. Recent performance breakthroughs in hardware-based verification tools, however, have made it not only practical, but even affordable.
