Overview
Rapid Prototypes, Inc. has developed some of the fastest FPGA
designs with performance exceeding 250 MHz. Even if you don't need such blazing performance,
we can scale our numerous IP blocks to any speed required, since all designs are
fully static and operate synchronously down to DC.
Rapid Prototypes can help you minimize your time to market
for new products utilizing FPGA and other rapid prototyping technologies. We have
an extensive library of basic components for building designs, resulting in reduced
design time and higher levels of reliability than is available with full-custom designs.
Experience: Over 100 FPGAs completed.
High Performance Designs: 400 MHz HDTV Video, 200 MHz
memory interfaces, 250 MHz digital cross correlators, digital communications, image
processing, audio, and reconfigurable computing.
Tools: Viewlogic, Verilog, C register transfer and behavioral
models, C++, Java, Xilinx M1.5 FPGA place and route tools, floorplanning and implementation
software.
Specialization
Rapid Prototypes, Inc. can work with clients to develop specifications
and delivery schedules for new product developments utilizing FPGA technology. We
can also assist clients with design reviews and recommendations.
Previous Projects:
- 400 MHz intelligent HDTV frame buffer, compositing engine
and display driver.
- 250 MHz cross correlator.
- 200 MHz SDRAM interface and controller. We developed a single-chip
memory interface that provides burst bandwidths of 800 Megabytes per second per memory
chip using standard SDRAMs.
- PCI reconfigurable computer. Designed, developed and tested
a reconfigurable computer using a PCI bus with over 500,000 reconfigurable logic
gates. Developed a real-time video processing application capable of determining
depth from stereo video in real time at each pixel in a video display. Computation
performed roughly 10 Giga-instructions per second on a single FPGA PCI board.
- Disk controllers. Rapid Prototypes has designed FPGA's
to interface to disk drives and other storage media.
- Graphics engines. Rapid Prototypes, Inc. has extensive
experience in graphics and real-time rendering for 2D and 3D graphics applications.
- Real-time video compression units. Rapid Prototypes,
Inc. has worked on real-time video compression and decompression algorithms utilizing
FPGA's for efficient and cost-effective codecs for video and audio.
