* Making the Case For an Integrated FPGA Design Flow
With the rate of ASIC-to-FPGA conversions continuing
to escalate, choosing the right FPGA design tools can
determine the course and competitiveness of a system
house's entire business. Design teams can select
proprietary solutions, commercial tools, and other
alternatives. Some choices offer short-term cost
advantages, others offer longer-term flexibility. This
paper discusses the pros and cons of the diverse
approaches available today.
