FPGA Design

Astek also offers FPGA design services. The service ranges from developing FPGA products, obsolete part replacements, to developing ASIC prototypes, which may include circuit card assemblies and test software. We have the infrastructure needed to provide a turnkey solution for customers requiring the development of an FPGA.

FPGA DESIGNS

Ethernet DMA Controller
Features: 25MB/second transfer rate between external FIFOs and processor bus; simultaneous input/output operation; controls multiple external devices on processor bus; design converted from original gate-level schematics to synthesizable RTL for FPGA implementation; all external pinouts/timing unchanged; ASIC replaced with Xilinx Spartan-II FPGA.

Programmable Timer Chip
Features: RISC processor interface; multiple cascadable internal counters; programmable internal timer; design converted from original gate-level schematics to synthesizable RTL for FPGA implementation; all external pinouts/timing unchanged; ASIC replaced with Xilinx Virtex FPGA.

TELECOM - SONET/SDH OC-3/12
Features: Section, Line, and Path terminating interfaces; Astek has worked on Regenerators and Multiplexers, designing Framers, Pointer Processors, and overhead termination; single mode fiber interface (PHY) for DC-3 and DC-12.

TELECOM - ATM
Features: ARM SAR, AAL-5 re-assembly, AAL-2 re-assembly; Astek has experience with ATM AAL-5 SAR and AAL-2 SAR design and test.
