FPGA design services

FPGA design services at Promwad implies firmware development for FPGA and MPSoC/RFSoC. We design and integrate IP cores, interface controllers, data processing algorithms, processor cores, and custom specialized modules.

Our engineering team offers the best choice of FPGA/MPSoC/RFSoC for your project, according to the required budget, power consumption, and performance.

FPGA-project

FPGA-project service at Promwad involves the following activities:

Specifications development.
Architecture definition, selection of IP cores.
SystemC modeling.
RTL descriptions development in VHDL/Verilog.
DSP cores in Matlab Simulink (DSP – Digital signal processing).
HLS — High-Level Synthesis.
Logical and physical synthesis.
Topology verification.
DFT, test coverage analysis.
Adaptation of IP cores to various FPGA families.

SoC/SoPC

Integration of digital and control elements on a single chip managed by RISC CPU, DSP, signal processing blocks, peripherals, memory interface.

FPGA-based hardware accelerator

FPGA-based PCIe accelerator board is effectively optimized for Artificial Intelligence (AI), video processing and encoding, backbone network traffic analysis, simulation of physical processes, genome and DNA research. FPGA accelerator board is based on Xilinx UltraScale+ and Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ chips. It supports up to 32GB of external memory and 4 100 GE network ports.

Our partners

Processor cores
