Using the most advanced embedded design tools, Krypton professionals are able to design large scale FPGAs in excess of 1 million gates. Krypton has completed FPGA designs using ALTERA, XILINX, and ACTEL devices, and with a well-proven FPGA development process, focus is placed on the development of modular and maintainable designs.

Krypton uses extensive synchronous design techniques and simulations to ensure that timing and routing requirements are met before hardware testing is attempted. Our specialty includes the design of custom and standard bus interfaces, DSP and specialized processing functions into FPGAs.

FPGA-to-ASIC Conversion

Our ability to convert and optimize the FPGA design to ASIC enables customers to manage the increasing complexity of digital design during development and final product cost. The FPGA approach offers the quickest time to market, which allows for fast verification cycles and zero fabrication time. This model allows low non-recurring engineering (NRE) cost and reduces the risk in the development cycle.

FPGA-to-ASIC conversion methodology provides hardware designers flexibility during initial development to design for required function and performance. The process involves prototyping with a FPGA once the design is finalized, then converting to a structured ASIC for full production. This allows high volume cost optimization and helps to minimize package size. The following diagram illustrates the conversion process.

  

This provides our customers with a solution for time-to-market coupled with cost optimization.
