Accelerate Your Design Process with Prodigy S7-19P FPGA Prototyping Platform

With the increasing size and complexity of System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, the demand for more effective verification tools is rising. The semiconductor industry faces a highly competitive landscape with shorter time-to-market requirements. This makes it challenging for designers to depend solely on the traditional approach of implementing and testing designs in hardware. Consequently, there is a pressing need for verification tools that can handle the scale and complexity of SoCs while accelerating the design process.

FPGA prototyping is a valuable methodology for SoC/ASIC designers. It is a standard tool that enables them to quickly iterate designs, perform thorough functional testing, and identify and resolve potential design issues at an early stage. Though it poses challenges, if appropriately implemented, FPGA prototyping can substantially cut down on design time and costs while enhancing the quality and dependability of the end product.

To describe this new system verification solution, we use a commercial FPGA prototyping platform called Prodigy S7-19P Logic Systems from S2C. These systems are a prime option for IC designers who demand high logic capacity, interconnectivity, and bandwidth. These systems are based on Xilinx's highest capacity FPGA, the Virtex UltraScale+ VU19P FPGA, and it provides an impressive 1.6x more logic per device than its predecessor, the Virtex UltraScale VU440.
