Objective
- Introduce a new and up-to-date design technology which, to a previous analysis, did not appear to be economical for a small enterprise.
- Compare the cost of design of electronic modules using traditional methods and a high level automated system.
- Improve the quality of electronic design with the use of automatic simulation and timing analysis.
- Increase the competitive position of the company by the reduction of time-to-market of new products and more modular structures in the products.
- Analyse the time required to prepare all necessary tools (hardware and software) to make the board testable on automatic testing machines in production.
- Increase the productivity of designers allowing them to concentrate on system functionality described as an algorithm rather than in terms of circuits and gates.
The object of this Application Experiment is a full and practical test for assessing the actual advantages to be obtained by a small enterprise in using a modern (and very expensive) automated synthesis tool (SYNOPSYS) for the design of electronic systems based on full-programmable devices. The experiment is based on the complete design of a family of modular units for actuating a variety of I/O devices interconnected with a fibre optic link.
