TITLE: FPGA TO ASIC MIGRATION

An FPGA is often used to prototype an ASIC which  can  be  faster
and   cheaper   when  mass-produced.   However,  the  process  of
migrating the design requires the user to provide for testability
of  the  ASIC  and  to address a number of other issues which are
generally not undertaken as part of the FPGA design procedure.

"FPGA to ASIC Migration" by Marc Royer and Mark  Goode   of  
 ASIC International in Oak Ridge, TN, is an article which addresses the
issues involved.  It can be found in the Nov. 2000 issue  of  ISD
Magazine or on the web at:
