Regardless of the amount of time and energy FPGA designers invest attempting to create “right-first-time” designs, the functional complexities, performance requirements, and high gate counts of large ...

For the past two decades, most designs have been incremental in nature. They heavily leveraged IP used in previous designs, and that IP often was developed by third parties. But there are growing ...

FPGA synthesis comes with pitfalls that are becoming more of a liability as the devices themselves grow in complexity. Timing closure can take multiple synthesis iterations. Also, design iterations ...

FPGAs are getting larger and larger, as evidenced by Xilinx's Virtex-5 devices, which are produced on a 65-nm process. Designers want faster runtimes for their FPGA tools as well as other features ...

Hier Design Inc. (HDI) is developing and supporting the PlanAhead hierarchical floorplanning and analysis software for the design of electronic systems based on high-density FPGAs. Hierarchical ...
