I/O Designer

• Provides bi-directional integration, data management and the ability to perform concurrent design of your FPGA and PCB
• Focused on optimizing system performance, designer productivity and reducing product manufacturing costs
• Eliminates the barriers between FPGA and PCB flows and design organizations

• Reduces PCB Manufacturing costs by eliminating PCB signal layers
• Makes achieving high-speed constraints possible
• Reduces the total product design cycle time by changing a serial process into a concurrent process
• Eliminates PCB re-spins due to bad FPGA symbols on the PCB
• Eliminates the costs associated with creating and maintaining the FPGA symbol(s) for the PCB schematic
