Future FPGA Technologies, in Partnership with Universities

Summary form only given. Over the last few years, significant technical advances have increasingly made field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) the mainstream solution of choice for many digital system designers. This presentation talks about current and future design technologies that enable FPGAs to be used in an ever-increasing range of applications like embedded systems, digital signal processing, and high-speed serial communication, in addition to traditional logic design. It covers the aggressive adoption of process technology in FPGAs, with products in 65 nm technology scheduled for 2006. This talk also presents some of the work done with universities across the globe (and in India) to help further education and research in the area of programmable technologies.
