Experts at Broadband Applications & CPLD Design Services
Thank you for visiting the BLT Broadband Applications CPLD Design Services page.
Founded in 1985 by one of the original Xilinx Field Application Engineers,
the continuing mission of Bottom Line Technologies Inc (BLT) is to offer our Clients
premium quality design services on aggressive schedules at an competitive price.
We invite you to learn about our company and
our philosophies to see who we are and how we get the job done. We also suggest that you
visit our Broadband Applications and
CPLD Design Services pages for more specific information.
Because of our beginnings, BLT’s proud reputation as “The Xilinx Experts” often precedes us. However, due to the changing expectations and needs of our clients, over the years we’ve grown beyond our Xilinx roots combining the latest technologies with specialization in a variety of services to offer our clients the most reliable, expedient and economical path to market.
The Bottom Line approach is one of quality by Project Management, Design Methodology, and Project Staffing. Our mature, time proven methodologies ensure you start and finish your designs the right way, on time, and on budget. By helping our Clients avoid dozens of common mistakes, we frequently shave days, weeks or months off their schedules.
BLT also satisfies a multitude of non-technical needs of our Clients effectively allow BLT to perform as an extension of our Client's organization.
The "bottom line" is that the goals of our Clients and BLT are best achieved when designs are done well, promptly and cost effectively. Our greatest pride is our broad base of referrals and repeat clients. They illustrate that we really do offer the least expensive, lowest risk and fastest design capabilities available. We look forward to working with you.
Please Contact us for more information.
CPLD design presents challenges significantly different than those for FPGAs. CPLDs are usually register-limited in comparison to FPGAs, but have the capacity for very complex combinatorial logic within a single macrocell. This allows a complex function to propagate very quickly -- often faster than in an FPGA of equivalent speed grade. CPLDs are also typically non-volatile, requiring no external source of configuration data, such as a PROM. For many applications, they are the least expensive, and may result in the physically smallest implementation using programmable logic.
However, as the amount of logic grows to approach the resource limits of a CPLD, some bottlenecks can occur, challenging even an experienced designer:
- Maintaining fixed pinouts, while making even moderate architectural changes, may result in the inability to implement (place and route) the design.
- Frequently, the designer will encounter a resource tradeoff between registers, macrocells, product terms, and product term allocation logic.
- Reducing the number of registers by making an architectural change, in an attempt to successfully implement the part, may result in overuse of the other resources.
- A high utilization of one or more key resources may force a designer to become familiar with product/input term limits and their affects, a time-consuming process.
- Successful CPLD implementation can prove sensitive to the effects of logic structures produced by different synthesis tools.
