Supply bottleneck for FPGAs

Converting FPGA solutions to another technology

This white paper provides a step-by-step guide to methods for upgrading obsolete or out-of-stock FPGAs to a different technology. This will extend the life of your design and provide other benefits.

The OneSpin 360 EC-FPGA retargeting solution enables system designs based on outdated FPGAs to be repurposed to newer technologies. This extends the life of the design while taking advantage of the latest security and power saving features of newer FPGAs.

Many designs targeting obsolete FPGAs are still functional, but obsolete FPGAs are no longer available or purchasing these obsolete FPGAs becomes prohibitively expensive. The time, resources and cost to redesign may also be impractical. Add to this the fact that modern FPGA technology offers significant advantages that outdated technologies do not have in terms of security and power saving features.

In this white paper you will learn:

  • the methodology to realign a netlist in an obsolete technology to a netlist in modern technology
  • a methodology to show equivalence of the old netlist with new RTL code
  • a methodology for realigning an RTL code in an obsolete technology to a new technology
