Leveraging FPGA in PCB System Designs: Optimizing Profit Margin
Contributor: Dave Brady, Mentor Graphics
Format: PDF Document
Any design project that leverages Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to implement system designs has the opportunity to:
- Reduce total design cycle time by as much as 50%
- Minimize PCB manufacturing costs
- Optimize product profit margin
Early adopters of PCB Optimization technology have validated the concept that FPGA package flexibility can deliver substantial business benefits.
This white paper documents the impact of decisions made during the design of the FPGA-PCB interface, from the assignment of the PCB signal to the FPGA package pins through their effect on product profit margin.
