FPGAs, popular as they are these days for prototyping and/or production runs, come with their own little quirks. One of those is the nagging tendency for functional errors to appear in synthesis and ...

The 360 EC-FPGA stand-alone equivalence checker is said to be the industry’s first dedicated to and priced for FPGAs. It supports all sequential optimizations performed by FPGA synthesis tools and can ...

This Synthesis-Tool Package Gives The Designer An Inexpensive And Effective Method For Evaluating C-Based Methodologies. The design starts that use reconfigurable processors—namely field-programmable ...

Formal Equivalence Checking (EC) has become a standard part of the ASIC development flow, replacing almost all gate level simulation with a rigorous consistency check between pre- and post-synthesized ...

The “shift left” of the development cycle is critical for the huge, complex chips used in such applications as AI and high-performance computing (HPC). Identifying design issues at the netlist stage ...

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 ...
