Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto, 2006 [2] (When) Will FPGAs Kill ASICs? Rajeev, Jayaraman Xilinx Inc. DAC-2001 [3] ASICs Verses FPGAs Frank J. Bartos Control Engineering 6/1/2005 [4] Structured ASICs Dan Lander, Haru Yamamoto, Shane Erickson UCLA - EE 201A Spring 2004 References

    3. [5] Signal, Timing Integrity Assured with FPGAs - Technology Information Rich Sevcik Electronic News  July 24, 2000   [6] Navigating the Silicon Jungle: FPGA or ASIC? Blyler, John Chip Design Magazine June/July 2005 [7] FPGA vs. ASIC Xilinx Inc. Getting Started with Xilinx 2006 [8] Xilinx: Virtex-5 Family Overview Xilinx Inc. datasheet DS100(v4.2) May 7, 2008 References

    4. Introduction Performance Perspective Measuring the Gap between FPGAs and ASICs, [1] Cost/Risk/Lifecycle Perspective (When) Will FPGAs Kill ASICs?, [2] ASICs verses FPGAs, [3] Summary Future Technology Structured/Platform ASICs, [4] Conclusion Overview

    5. ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) An IC designed for a particular use Standard cell, full-custom ASIC Applications Processors RAM ROM Introduction

    6. Why are we interested? The size of transistors are shrinking to sub-micron levels Deep Sub-Micron (DSM) designs have problems Two main fundamental issues: Signal Integrity Timing Closure Is an ASIC still the best architecture? Introduction
