High-end FPGA design services added to Silicon Logic Engineering's offering

Increasingly, technology product firms are capitalizing on the opportunity to lower front-end costs by using FPGA design. The development of new FPGA technology and designs, like complex ASIC designs, requires experienced engineers to take critical design considerations into account.

SLE’s experienced engineers have designed over 35 high-end ASICs with right-first-time success using SLE’s proprietary Think Physical™ process. The Think Physical process allows for FPGA designs to be ported to ASIC technology as market volumes justify it. This allows SLE customers to shorten product-to-market schedules and save money on design and front-end manufacturing costs, with a high degree of confidence that as the product matures, the FPGA design can be easily ported to an advanced ASIC.

“The SLE team applies its Think Physical process to leading-edge, complex FPGA designs to create efficient designs that work on the product schedule that was specified. Customers that plan to initially launch a product design in FPGA and then migrate to the ASIC cycle as the product matures or increases volume, will realize significant cost savings and schedule savings with SLE’s FPGA design services,” said Jeff West, Vice President of Design Services at Tundra.
