Improved SoC Design Productivity is a Beautiful Thing

John Swan – visit www.LinkedIn.com/in/SwanOnChips

Over 20 years of SoC design and design methodology.  Introduced HDL methodology into Motorola's Corporate R&D Labs.  Then after rigorous hands-on use of HDL methodology on a major multimedia chipset, supported initial research into the viability of behavioral synthesis on projects around the company.

New tools and methodologies are available to take your industry beyond RTL. And if implemented properly, another leap in SoC design productivity can be achieved that is similar to the leap in improvement provided by the use of HDL methodology at RTL.
