Overview

This event is part of NMI's Systems Electronics portfolio.

The FPGA world is producing an increasing variety of targeted architectures but can they be all things for all markets?
This event will "Lift the Lid" on a variety of architectures, discuss the challenges with using the specific features and their benefits.

Using case studies and expert contributors, this event will cover the complete design flow from design capture to verifying the final product on board.

As with all NMI Network events, in addition to the presentations and discussion sessions, there will be ample opportunity to meet and network with attendees from a wide variety of organisations.
