Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems Using Altera Field Programmable Gate Arrays

摘要

Rapid prototyping of digital systems plays an important role in verification of the behavior of a system for constructing a working model rapidly. In the past, the commercial Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and the academic/industrial research communities have been aware of the requirement for an intensive effort to study the digital system design process in its entirety; however, resource needs, fuzzy objectives, and short-time horizon have handicapped progress. Currently, the Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors (RASSP) program is overcoming these shortcomings by developing a number of new technologies that will lead to shorter prototyping times, improved product quality, and reduced costs. This paper describes the RASSP design using Altera Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA).
