Consulting and Support in the area of FPGA Design and ASIC Verification

Programmable Logic - General Support

You're working on an important project, using programmable logic.
Commercially it might not be interesting for your PLD/FPGA vendor and
possibly you don't get the support you need.
El Camino can provide competent support for the following topics:

• Speed, utilization, pinout or place & route

• Working with the tools

• System integration or device programming

• Implementation of IP

High Speed I/O - Stratix II GX / Arria GX

Multi-gigabit system design requires more than just a functional FPGA.
El Camino offers comprehensive support throughout the planning,
implementation and test phases of schematics and board layouts that include
high speed serial transceivers such as those found in today's Stratix GX devices.

Board Layout

• Impedance controlled design for high speed signals

• Layout of dense, high pin count BGA footprints

• Multilayer boards with up to 30 layers

Simulation and Measurement

• Modeling and simulation of critical multi Gigabit signals

• Impedance measurement of board traces
  (rho-measurement)

• Determination of quadripole parameters

• Crosstalk, rise/fall and delay measurements

• Specific analyses and suggestions for improvement

Lab equipment

20 GHz sampling scope 4 GHz vector network analyzer 3 GHz pulse generator Spectrum analyzer

Functional Verification

El Camino is specialized in implementing functional verification environments
in programming languages like "e", SystemVerilog, VHDL or Verilog as well as in hardware,
based on prototyping systems with appropriate software interfaces. Our specialists can
provide professional support in the planning and implementation phases as well
as help in optimizing existing environments.
