An Integrated Design Flow for FPGA/PCB Co-Design

Details

Overview

This demonstration will show how to accelerate your FPGA-PCB system co-design process with the Mentor Graphics Precision Synthesis - Expedition design flow.

While FPGA pin assignment closure is seen as a painful and time consuming process by many, adoption of the right methodology can not only shorten project schedule but also differentiate your product.

What You Will Learn

  • How to implement advanced IO optimization to save time and eliminate manual errors
  • How to use pin-aware physical synthesis for FPGA timing closure
  • How FPGA and PCB designers can meet design constraints in parallel
