1. Design complexity requires system-level design
The ambiguity of product specifications written in a natural language often introduces design flaws that go undetected until later, making the solution more expensive. The focus on system-level design has become greater as design complexity has increased. More...
- By Gabe Moretti, Technical Editor

2. Plug and Play Design Methodologies for FPGA-based Signal Processing
FPGAs are a good fit for applications that demand higher performance than what DSP processors can offer, yet do not meet the criteria to justify ASIC economics. More...
-By Narinder Lall, Xilinx, Inc and Eric Cigan -, AccelChip, Inc.

3. A Methodology for DSP-Based FPGA Design
Overall, DSP is becoming a highly ubiquitous technology, seeing its application not only in a myriad of consumer, automotive and telephony products, but also in an increasingly advanced class of devices. More...
-ByAndrew Dauman and Dirk Seynhaeve Synplicity, Inc.

4. Co verification Methodology for Platform FPGAs
To ensure a fast and efficient implementation of advanced, feature rich FPGAs, designers need access to the latest in productivity enhancing EDA tools and methodologies. For years, hardware/software (HW/SW) coverification has been commonly used to debug ASIC SoC designs. More...
-By Milan Saini and Ross Nelson, Xilinx, Inc.

5. On-Chip Power Integrity, Including Package Effects
On-chip power integrity effects and their influence on the entire power delivery system have become a major concern in the design of large and complex high-speed SoC designs. Today's extreme design challenges require a complete power-aware solution that encompasses the global effects of the entire power delivery system, including the realistic effects of the package and the PC board on the functional operation of the IC. More...
