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 ...

FPGA design starts are on the rise due to the lower startup costs and re-programmability that FPGA devices can provide. However, large, complex FPGA devices pose significant challenges to an FPGA ...

Digital systems need clocks. Today’s designs require more from clocking schemes than ever before, and it’s likely this trend will continue. Increasing power constraints have resulted in finer-grained ...

New design languages and new chips and systems mean a whole new set of design gotchas for today's developers. Once-simple tasks become difficult and, thankfully, once-difficult tasks become easy. This ...

Time-saving verification tools have been added to an advanced tool flow for high-end FPGA design. The flow, a collaboration between Xilinx Inc. of San Jose and Synopsys Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., ...

Verification and design engineers like to talk shop and discuss their experiences and visions. But even though engineers sharing stories around the water cooler (whatever form that takes—conferences, ...

So what’s a STRUCTURED ASIC? A Structured ASIC is a type of integrated circuit that contains blocks of logic, called "tiles." These tiles reside in the die ready to be connected in a customizable ...
