Realize the Genius of Your Design!

I think we can all agree that no matter what you are designing, FPGA prototyping can help. The challenge is getting the most out of the leading edge FPGA prototyping solutions and that requires a detailed understanding of how this technology works and what FPGA prototyping solutions match your design and verification requirements. That is the whole point of attending #52DAC; finding out what tools and technology works for your design requirements, absolutely.

One of the most recent companies we have been working with is S2C. S2C Inc. is a worldwide leader of FPGA prototyping solutions. They were founded in San Jose, California in 2003 by a group of Silicon Valley veterans with extensive knowledge in ASIC emulation, FPGA prototyping, and SoC validation technologies. The company has been successfully delivering rapid SoC prototyping solutions since its inception. You can see their SemiWiki landing page HERE.

The Vice President of Marketing at S2C is Rob van Blommestein. Paul McLellan and I first worked with Rob at SpringSoft which was later acquired by Synopsys. Next we worked with Rob at Jasper which was acquired by Cadence. Don’t be surprised if Mentor acquires S2C giving Rob the EDA M&A trifecta! You should also check out S2C’s brand new website HERE. This is not S2C’s first DAC but it’s Rob’s first DAC with S2C and let me tell you he can put on a DAC:

• Support for multi-lane MIPI CSI-2 and DSI operations and pause capability

Special IP Verification Panel:

IP TRACK: Key Challenges of Verification and Validation of Modern Semiconductor IP

Date:Tuesday, June 9
Time:11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Location:Room 101

This panel of respected experts will discuss the key challenges of verification and validation of modern semiconductor devices. Topic areas will include verification IP, reusable test benches, best practices for using assertions, hardware prototyping, accelerated models, and emulation. The theme of the panel will be related to how these techniques can be best applied in today’s IP-based design methodologies.

Panelists:

• Tom Anderson – Breker Verification Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA
• Toshio Nakama – S2C, Inc., San Jose, CA
• Bernie Delay – Synopsys, Inc., Hillsboro, OR
• Raik Brinkmann – OneSpin Solutions GmbH, Munich, Germany
• Frank Schirrmeister – Cadence Design Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA
