The eFPGA is an advanced embedded FPGA solution designed to offer flexibility and adaptability in ASIC and SOC designs. This technology-independent IP is fully customizable to meet the diverse requirements of digital logic functions across multiple applications. The eFPGA is characterized by its seamless integration into standard RTL design flows, making it a reliable choice for enhancing the configurability and functionality of existing semiconductor products. With capabilities to adjust parameters such as LUT count, routing density, and more, the eFPGA allows for extensive optimization based on unique design constraints.
ADICSYS offers the eFPGA IP as both a soft core and a hard block, delivered in various formats like GDSII, OpenAccess, or Milkyway. This IP not only supports a broad range of design environments but also comes with comprehensive synthesis and constraint files, aligned with industry-standard CAD tools. Furthermore, ADICSYS provides its own compilation software, Acompile, which facilitates the smooth transfer of designs into programmable bitstreams. This flexibility in configuration ensures that the eFPGA IP can be easily adjusted to support evolving technological demands.
Designers can take advantage of the eFPGA's rich feature set, including real-time bug fixes, circuit modifications in the field, and significant reductions in design verification time. Additionally, these embedded FPGAs play a crucial role in reducing production risks by providing workaround options for potential design challenges or specification changes late in the development process.
