The level of automation applied to analog design has never approached the level enjoyed by digital designers. For years designers have iterated through schematic entry, physical layout, parasitic ...

Detailed and precise hierarchical design planning is essential to achieving closure on large designs. In this article we describe a new hierarchical design flow and its usage on a 3 million-gate chip.

Using SPI interface to free FPGA routing resources is allowing over 90% utilization, fast timing closure and supports modular design approach without consequences. When doing designs with FPGA you are ...
