Implementing DSP algorithms into silicon is traditionally a challenging, tedious, error-prone process. Algorithm design favors a higher level of mathematical and statistical modeling in contrast to RTL logic design which focuses on bit-level and clock-cycle environments. Devices such as FPGAs are increasingly difficult to target due to specialized DSP blocks, multipliers, and memory functions included on-chip. The typical hand-coded RTL design flow limits design exploration and optimization resulting in long schedules and less than optimal results. The Synplify DSP solution offers DSP algorithm designers and hardware engineers the most efficient way to get their algorithms into silicon. Synplify DSP uses a unique DSP Synthesis methodology that offers significant advantages over traditional design flows and competing DSP design tools.
