The use of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) in electronic products is increasing at a phenomenal rate. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), with their multi-million equivalent gate counts and DSP-centric features can offer dramatic performance increases over standard DSP chips. They also offer an attractive alternative for small and medium volume production FPGAs also make very powerful prototyping and verification vehicles for realtime emulation of DSP algorithms [1]. This paper discusses
more » ... challenges and requirements of creating portable algorithmic IP for FPGAs and ASICs and illustrates how an ESL synthesis methodology using the Synplify ® DSP tool can significantly reduce the time and effort to implement either technology. The Synplify DSP tool automatically creates optimized logic implementations for both FPGAs and ASICs.
