Fast SOC Emulation
Traditional ASIC emulation has made little progress in a decade:
- emulation speed still below 1 MHz
- price tag approaching seven digits even when leasing equipment
- high-maintenance systems requiring dedicated support, special electrical and cooling requirements not to mention floor space
- chip technology at least two generations behind the state of the art, with a product cycle of 3 to 5 years between generations
Benefits
You don't design chips today the same way you did ten years ago. At EVE, we applied the same principles to design ZeBu-XXL, our high-end emulation system so you benefit:
- Fast SOC Emulation, with a design emulation frequency of 10 MHz minimum
- large capacity, 100M ASIC gates or beyond
- in a compact form factor thanks to the use of the latest silicon technologies, which helps deliver high speed at a lower cost
In the end, the extra speed you get with Zebu enables you to do better pre-silicon validation. The return on investment (ROI) is at least an order of magnitude higher than traditional emulation, so it's finally easy to justify the use of emulation in your project.
