Overview

VAutomation was one of the first companies to recognize the need for re-usable intellectual property (IP) ÐÐ or cores ÐÐ when designing with ASICs and FPGAs. Since 1994, it has provided synthesizable HDL-based cores for microprocessors and serial communications controllers. VAutomation pre-designed and verified cores allow microprocessors and serial communications controllers, the 8086 and Universal Serial Bus for example, to be implemented within an ASIC or FPGA for true system-on-chip design.

Our cores are strictly synchronous making them easy to synthesize to any technology. Synthesis and timing analysis are simple, push-button operations with the sample scripts provided with each core. A comprehensive testbench is also provided for design verification and functional test vector extraction.

All of our cores have been thoroughly verified in silicon using Xilinx FPGA technology. Evaluation silicon is available for evaluating our cores and to enable early software/hardware integration. The V8-uRISC 8-bit RISC microprocessor and VUSB Universal Serial Bus Microcontroller cores are supported via the IntelliCore Prototyping System. This system, based on one to four XC4028 FPGAS, allows our cores and user logic to be easily prototyped and debugged.

VAutomation is exclusively focused on providing synthesizable cores. We market and sell our products through a direct sales and support operation headquartered in Nashua, N.H. The company is privately held with seed funding provided by its founders.
