FPGA Design

Programmable logic devices (PLD) are usually used in rapid prototyping of electronic components and integrated circuits. For example, leading processor and systems-on-chip manufacturers simulate system behavior using VHDL or Verilog hardware description languages and implementing chip prototype in FPGA.

The key advantage of FPGA is an ability to reconfigure (reprogram) logic cells, thus targeting a specific application and task. While improving FPGA performance and lowering power consumption, FPGA becomes popular in hardware designs as a hardware accelerator for applications and algorithms that operate with large amount of data.

IP (Intellectual Property) cores are logical blocks written in VHDL or Verilog, used complex multicomponent designs. Many companies offer tested, ready-to-use IP cores, which implement various algorithms and interfaces.

We have the following IP cores developed:

PCI Master, PCI Slave
VME
ISA
LPC
SDRAM, DMA controller
SPI, I2C, UART
Ethernet
USB
CAN
Image and video processing algorithms
Signal processing algorithms: filtering, crypting, interpolation
