High performance, custom FPGA Design solutions
When it comes to FPGA design, we specialize in a wide range of applications including high speed data acquisition and processing, video processing, high speed memory and network interfaces, advanced algorithm development, ASIC prototyping and feasibility study, and much, much more.
With over 10 years of experience in the industry, we offer a great variety of services ranging from RTL design (using VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog and System C) to Testing and Verification so you can rest assured that your needs will be met. Our FPGA engineers have worked with a wide range of devices including those form Xilinx, Intel, Lattice, Gowin and are proficient in RTL design. We make use of a multitude of tools to save time and cost in our design: synthesis of Matlab/Simulink components, IP integration, ChipScope Pro, scripting for design automation and testing.
ASIC manufacturing is a very costly and time-consuming process. Our team of experts can reliably Prototype your ASIC design on an FPGA. The advantages this brings are numerous
- Design test and verification using real life scenarios
- Reduce the number of revisions needed
- Provides a platform for developing drivers, firmware, and software
- Proof of concept
- Speed up testing of the ASIC after manufacture
All these advantages can translate to significant reductions in development cost and time-to-market.
High speed, high complex designs
requirement analysis
At NeuronicWorks we take a systematic approach to any project. We start by analyzing the requirements and generate a structured workflow which is guaranteed to save time and deliver accountable results.
hardware-software codesign
With FPGAs the possibilities are endless. They offer remarkable flexibility in the design, but that also means that special care needs to be taken during the design phase to ensure optimal results. Our FPGA engineers work closely with our Hardware and Software teams to ensure that the design is efficiently split between software and hardware in the FPGA. An efficient Hardware-Software split ensures a cost-effective solution by minimizing the size of the FPGA being used, as well as minimizing the BOM. This translates in a considerable cost save when scaling the design.
development and synthesis
We use a wide range of tools to save time during development. This may include building behavioral models using Matlab and Simulink, using IP cores integration tools or by simply using our very own IP core libraries.
Our FPGA engineers are proficient in RTL design in a variety of languages (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog and System C) so you can be assured that your needs are met in a timely fashion.
testing and verification
Being able to measure the performance of the system is very important. We use a variety of tools (ChipScope Pro, Signal Tap, Test benches etc.) to perform timing analysis, bandwidth measurements and give a detailed characterization of the design. We use this information to increase the cost efficiency of the design.
protocols and algorithms
Our team of engineers has experience with a broad range of protocols and algorithms, which makes us confident in our ability to create functional solutions. We have hands-on experience with:
- Communication Protocols (MIPI, UART, SPI, I2C, 1-Wire, PCM, PCIe, TCP/IP)
- Communication Drivers
- UART/RS-232
- USB (host and device)
- RS-485, CAN
