This book collects the best practices FPGA-based Prototyping of SoC and ASIC devices into one place for the first time, drawing upon not only the authors' own knowledge but also from leading ...

In the previous article on this topic, I stated the importance of prototyping during product design and development to verify your design. I reviewed the many plastic prototyping options available to ...

ASIC, ASSP and SoC development is, and will always be, a risky and expensive business. Add to this the fact that today functional verification constitutes 50 to 70 percent of the development effort, ...

This is the second article in a 6-part series titled “Mechanical Engineering Perspectives for Efficient, Integrated Commercial Product Design.” When we think about product design, it’s common to ...

High-speed, pre-silicon system models help developers start software development earlier and ensure timely product release. As the software content in today's 2.5G and 3G phones rapidly increases, ...

Something that becomes abundantly clear as you progress through the senior design project is that an idea “on paper” often does not fully translate physically in the prototyping phase. Because at this ...
