TITLE: Reconfigurable Logic for SoCs
DAFCA is a provider of electronic design automation software
tools that enable rapid debug and faster time-to-volume of
complex SoCs. With over 1,750 SoC design starts each year,
products like cell phones and digital cameras almost always
require some sort of silicon debug. DAFCA merges conventional
ASIC technology with a new form of reconfigurable logic. The
company's pre-silicon tools insert infrastructure intellectual
property in the form of a distributed reconfigurable fabric into
an SoC during its design process. In contrast to fixed-logic
infrastructure that is used once and then becomes permanent,
rigid ballast, DAFCA's fabric provides an infrastructure platform
that can be reconfigured and reused by post-silicon tools to
implement different applications. This new technology enables
chip designers to rapidly achieve working silicon and
significantly reduces the time-to-market of their end product.
