Design Review & Evaluation
FPGA Connection Review
The FPGA Connections / Schematic review is a short duration, time bounded and fixed price engagement that evaluates a new or existing design to:
- Analyze the FPGA pin assignments
- Review schematic connectivity, power and ground partitioning
- Ensure FPGA related layout rules are identified
- Review schematic for proper termination
- Identify potential issues and recommend changes
At the end of the Design Evaluation project you will have a high confidence that the FPGA is properly connected and the PCB is properly specified.
Schematic Design Evaluation
The Schematic Design Evaluation is a time bounded and fixed price engagement that evaluates a new or existing design to:
- Analyze Programmable Logic pin assignments
- Analyze connector pin assignments
- Review schematic connectivity, power and ground partitioning
- Identify potential ESD/EMI issues and solutions
- Review analog/digital design partitioning
- Review test accessible signals
- Ensure board layout rules are identified
- Review schematic for proper termination
- Identify potential issues and recommend changes
At the end of the Schematic Design Evaluation you will have a high confidence that your board design is properly connected and partitioned.
ASIC Design Evaluation
The ASIC Design Evaluation is a short duration project that engages Integre experts with the client team accelerating the ASIC development curve by rapidly answering questions in the following key project areas:
- Architecture
- Specification
- Foundry Selection
- Schedule Estimate
- Cost Estimate – labor and tools
At the end of the ASIC Design Evaluation your team will have a solid foundation enabling them to make the project and architectural tradeoff decisions which are required at the end of the ASIC Design Specification Phase. You will know:
What Is An Appropriate Architecture
What Is The Approximate Time To Prototype And Production
What Foundries Are Suitable For The Design
What Are The Estimated Development Costs
What Can Your Team Provide And What Is Needed From Outside Your Team
What Are The Risks And How Can They Be Avoided
