There is only one verification tool available in the marketplace today
that has the speed and flexibility to let you rapidly prototype virtually
any electronic system - the Paradigm RP. With speeds reaching real-time,
and the ability to easily incorporate other system entities (such as processors,
memories, and software), the Paradigm RP provides the benefit of allowing
you to prototype your whole system, even before your custom parts are manufactured.
Product Highlights
- Paradigm RP will keep your system development process moving full steam
ahead, giving you:
- Rapid proof of concept during top-down system analysis
- Reconfigurable prototypes for in-system testing with real-time data
- Low-cost replicates for early software integration
Xilinx-Specific Highlights
The Paradigm RP is a modular system consisting of a set of interconnected
emulation boards. Each emulation board contains 18 Xilinx 3090 chips and
16 Xilinx 4010 chips. The 4010 chips are mounted on 8 daughterboards, and
the 3090 chips are embedded in the motherboard. The 4010 chips are used
for logic block emulation, while the 3090 chips are used primarily for
crossbar routing (although it is possible to emulate ""glue logic""
in these devices as well).
Design Flow
- Designs are imported from all standard EDA formats, and cell libraries
are supported for most major ASIC vendor families.
- The Design Browser gives you a powerful, yet intuitive graphical environment
for floorplanning, partitioning, allocation, and automatic routing.
- Once your design is ready, Concept Silicon's open framework lets you
integrate third-party simulators, timing analyzers and physical hardware
to identify and correct timing problems and performance bottlenecks.
- Afterwards, use Concept Silicon to interface your final system to the
Paradigm RP for complete, real-time verification.
- Use Concept Silicon by itself to develop custom prototype hardware
or low-cost prototype replicates for early software integration.
