FPGA design & HDL development services
More than 20 years in FPGA and SoC technology and over 200 engineer-years of expertise. We cover every stage from concept design through implementation to on-site commissioning. Under our "we develop, you own" policy all source code and IP rights are delivered to you, and every project to date has been completed successfully.
HDL design capability
VHDL is our main language and we are equally fluent in Verilog. We also have extensive experience migrating legacy ABEL and AHDL designs to current FPGAs and CPLDs in VHDL. In-house HDL libraries, proven across many projects, keep development short and quality high.
VHDL / Verilog
VHDL is our primary language and we are equally fluent in Verilog, choosing whichever suits the requirement.
Legacy migration
We reimplement legacy ABEL and AHDL designs in VHDL for current devices.
Verified IP library
We draw on in-house components proven and verified across many real projects.
