RTAX/RTSX Prototyping

Prototyping is an important step in design verification. It assists in identifying problems with the design that were not detected during simulation. Due to one time programmability and high cost of RTAX-S/RTSX devices, prototyping Microsemi RT designs using the traditional approach may be prohibitively costly. Aldec offers a proven cost effective solution. The EDIF Netlist Converter is a software application developed by Aldec to perform the automatic conversion of a RTAX EDIF netlist into a ProASIC3 EDIF netlist. The converter provides automatic replacement of the primitives between the RTAX and ProASIC3 families. The software application complements the hardware prototyping adaptor and provides a smooth transition from the Microsemi RTAX netlist to a ProASIC3 netlist in order to utilize the flash based architecture for the purpose of prototyping. The converter uses the RTAX EDIF netlist as an input. After processing the converter generates an equivalent ProASIC3 EDIF netlist.
