FPGA Design Services
DSP functions are commonly implemented on two types of programmable platforms: FPGA and Signal processing platforms. In the past, the use of DSPs was all pervasive, but with the needs of many applications exceeding the processing capabilities of FPGA Design Services (FPGA and Signal Processing Design Services) is growing rapidly. FPGAs are revolutionizing digital signal processing as new, innovative and powerful FPGAs are replacing ASICs and DSPs to run front-end FPGA digital signal processing algorithms. FPGA digital signal processing allows designers to create and develop circuit architectures for specific applications. Mistral’s FPGA Design Services deliver high-levels of performance for many DSP applications and provide considerable improvements over conventional microprocessor and dedicated Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). Mistral provides FPGA Design Services based on current generation high-density, high-performance FPGAs that come in three-dimensional silicon and use stacked silicon interconnect technology.
