With the advent of new technologies in IC design and complexity of the business models, chip designers may want to explore different choices available to them for implementation. ASICs have been the ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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, ...

CAST IP and Aldec Simulators Unite for Smoother FPGA and ASIC Design Flow Woodcliff Lake, NJ, March 7, 2011 — Semiconductor intellectual property (IP) provider CAST, Inc. and electronic design ...

In this paper, the authors present a novel technique for the mapping of set of DSP applications onto architectures targeting an ASIC/Reconfigurable implementation embedded on the same chip.

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 ...
