Overview
This session discusses customer implementation of advanced optimization technologies for single- and multiple-FPGA boards to accelerate time to market while minimizing PCB manufacturing costs.
FPGA on PCB implementations are evolving as ever-increasing integrated circuit density and performance are pushing greater system functionality on-chip and moving signaling interfaces to the device pins on 1000+ pin BGA packages. The flexibility of programmable drive standards and pin selection on hundreds of user I/O's with dozens of signaling technologies has increased complexity of the FPGA- PCB integration process.
What You Will Learn
- Challenges faced and savings achieved through concurrent FPGA/PCB optimization
- Interface to FPGA design and 'what if' device/pin selection to vendor electrical and logical rules
- Automated pin unraveling to untangle pin assignments to critical PCB interface components/connectors and between multiple FPGAs
