ProDesign to Provide ASIC Prototyping and Verification for Tensilica’s Diamond Standard Processors

Designers can now use ProDesign’s CHIPit ASIC Rapid Prototyping and Emulation systems to verify designs using Tensilica’s popular Diamond Standard processor cores. CHIPit verification platforms provide verification and validation through the SOC and ASIC project life cycle.

“We are working with Tensilica because a growing number of design teams are using Tensilica’s Diamond Standard processor cores,” stated Heiko Mauersberger, ProDesign’s chief technology officer. “The Diamond Standard cores deliver the best mix of low power and high performance for applications ranging from simple 32-bit controllers to high-end DSPs and an audio processor.”

ProDesign’s CHIPit ASIC Prototyping line provides an integrated set of tools with debug capabilities that provide a dual solution for hardware and software verification and validation throughout the product life cycle. The FPGA-based ProDesign CHIPit platforms can handle capacities up to 21-million ASIC gates and run at system speeds up to 200 MHz.
