FPGA Design Consulting
Agile Digital Technologies, inc., technical staff has over fifteen years experience designing testing and integrating complex digital subsystems using FPGAs. In addition, for glue logic or relatively small designs the solution may be a CPLD. We undertake projects from initial concept to final board level integration and test either in a co-development approach or turnkey solution or on site consultants on time and material basis.
Our broad knowledge of FPGAs and CPLDs from major vendors enables us to help you select the optimal technology for your application, being a new design, migration to different vendor, cost reduction or replacing obsolete discreet logic on an old design to preserve functionality and software re-use to reduce the total re-design cost.
FPGA Consulting Services Include:
- Design specification
- Block Level Architecture
- Technology selection
- Device partitioning
- Interface definition
- VHDL or Verilog code generation
- VHDL or Verilog test bench generation
- Functional simulation
- Synthesis
- Place and route
- Post-synthesis, place, and route validation
- Board-level integration and validation
- Technology upgrade
- Obsolescence re-hosting
FPGA Design Approach
We believe that a good FPGA design starts with a good design process in place. This includes a well-written FPGA requirements document and a detailed FPGA design specification. We will work with you to develop the requirements document and design specification or we can start with your written documents, or we can write the required documents conforming to your processes.
For the design phase, we use the block-based design approach for complex FPGA designs. This approach divides the design into natural sub-blocks to streamline the design and integration process. It allows the design to be functionally partitioned for incremental design, integration, and block reuse in future applications.
Being on-site consulting on a time and material basis, turn-key solution, or something in between, we have the technical knowledge and experience to provide the FPGA and/or CPLD design and development solution for your application.
