New requirements for the MAC (medium-access control) and PHY (physical-layer interface) of a wireless-communications system can pose significant challenges for system designers looking to quickly get ...

Jena -- March 19 2009 - MAZeT GmbH offers IP cores for the Interbus protocol (SUPI4 / Phoenix Contact) for implementation in FPGAs and ASICs. The protocol chip for serial communication interfaces in ...

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 ...

1. In a big company, doing ASIC design verification for a WCDMA modem for 3G cellular chips. 2. Small company, doing Embedded Software Programming. Working on the design and implementation of layer 1 ...

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 ...

FPGAs are getting larger, more complex, and significantly harder to verify and debug. In the past, FPGAs were considered a relatively quick and simple way to get to market before committing to the ...

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 ...

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, ...
