Connectivity Options Abound With Modular Verification System

The CHIPit Platinum Edition high-end verification system meets many capacity, interface, and interconnectivity needs of ASIC designers. The scalable system (from 18 to 144 million FPGA gates) is based on a compact modular concept. The product's "3D Switching Technology" enables up to 18 Xilinx Virtex II FPGAs to be connected in an almost infinite number of different star and/or chain configurations, which can be arranged by software at any time. The CHIPit Platinum Edition integrates into existing design flows without the need for new, complicated software packages. The CHIPit Platinum Edition starts at $85,000.
