Description

Lecture on “Building a Better Programmable Logic Device (PLD)’’ & Discussion Forum Abstract of the lecture: The following topics are covered: 1. An overview of programmable logic industry (why PLDs? who are in business? PLD Eco system, New comers to arena) 2. Industry standard PLD architecture (Island style & segmented routing) 3. Building PLDs at sub micron process nodes (transistor vs interconnect operational speeds) 4. A better programmable device (why TABULA is doing this) 5. Describing digital logic (Verilog too close to implementation than functional, Haskell) 6. Tool flows - synthesis, placement & routing (rescaling & sequential timing)
