SD provides complete FPGA design solutions from specifications to prototype. for all industry standard FPGA vendors. Based on our proven design methodology the technology and domain experts are capable of handling designs of any complexity. They will work together to analyze the possible product lifecycle.
Our FPGA Expertise center focuses on the following services:
- FPGA development: For testing the markets or for low volume supply, we provide extreme time-to-market reduction, lowest NRE costs and the ability to continuously evolve and customize your products based on inputs from the end customers.
- Migration to ASIC: Once the consumers realize the potential of your product and the volumes pick up, our team will migrate your designs to ASIC / SoC designs with an option of a host of foundries to suit your business.
- ASIC to FPGA: If the customer wants to port its obsolete ASIC design to cost effective solution.
