In this book, we uncover the history of FPGA-based prototyping and three leading system providers – S2C, Cadence, and Synopsys. First, we look at how the need for co-verification evolved with chip complexity, where FPGAs got their start in verification, and why ASIC design benefits from prototyping technology.

The book also includes a Field Guide to help effectively navigate the FPGA prototyping flow using best practices and technologies.

We'll take a glimpse into the future of FPGA prototyping as seen through the eyes of our visionary CTO Mon-Ren Chene.
