The capacity and capability of modern FPGAs support the implementation of many digital systems, making FPGAs the platforms of choice for developing, prototyping, and deploying digital logic. Depending ...

This paper describes the implementation differences of an IP core between FPGA and RapidChip® Platform ASIC technologies. By mapping the same complex, high-speed PCI Express core onto these two ...

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 ...

Ever go to a restaurant, sit down to a complex menu, and just wish you had a few choices instead of dozens? If you've recently attempted to decide the optimal ASIC solution to best fit your design ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...
