Design Portability for FPGA/ASIC Conversion Application Note

PublishTime：2021-10-26

Design portability is a measure of how easily a design can be ported from one technology, be it FPGA or ASIC, into another technology. The easier a design can be ported, the less bound the design is to a given vendor: it is in the interest of designers to make their designs waferfab independent.
Designers who have reduced their production costs by converting their FPGA designs into ASICs know that design portability allows independence from FPGA vendors. This allows designers to more easily cut costs.
Designers who have had to migrate their ASIC designs from the obsolescence of their ASIC vendors know that portability ensures component production longevity. This allows designers to continue selling their product.
When a design needs to be ported it's common that knowledge of the design may have been lost, or that logic design rules may not have been adhered to, making a retarget both difficult and risky.
ATMEL regularly assists customers with designs originating from either FPGA or ASIC foundry, and recognizes the importance of portability. Portability is comprised of many issues, and this document presents common pitfalls in FPGA design and is meant to serve as a quick reference to ensure faster, smoother and safer FPGA->ASIC and ASIC->ASIC conversion.
