ASIC Prototyping with FPGAs
Recently, there is a growing use of FPGAs to prototype ASICs as part of an ASIC verification methodology. With development costs for ASICs approaching $20M, avoiding a respin by prototyping with FPGAs is attractive alternative. This paper explorers the key issues designers should consider when developing and ASIC prototyping methodology.
