Implement an FPGA ASIC prototype

Posted: 16 Jun 2008

Print Version

Keywords: ASIC FPGA digital electronics design functional verification

[Summary of tips] Over the past decade, designers around the world have argued the relative merits of using ASICs vs. FPGAs to implement digital electronic designs. This discussion has typically positioned the performance advantages and low power consumption of fully customised ICs against the flexibility and low NRE costs of FPGAs.Should a desi......

What is an ASIC?
An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is an IC that is customised for a specific application (end product or a closely related family of end products), such as a chip which is designed to run a cellular handset.

What is FPGA?
Short for Field-Programmable Gate Array, a type of logic chip that can be programmed. An FPGA is similar to a PLD, but whereas PLDs are generally limited to hundreds of gates, FPGAs support thousands of gates. They are especially popular for prototyping integrated circuit designs. Once the design is set, hardwired chips are produced for faster performance.
