Field-Programmable Technology was once purely used for prototyping and in-field upgrades. Volume production or special applications like high-performance or low-power were purely the domain of ASICs. This is no longer the case. While the cost, risk and time of ASIC development spirals, FPGAs and related technologies are utilising the latest processes to bring the benefits of the technologies without the historical downsides. Suddenly using Field-Programmable devices in volume production and special applications is not just feasible but desirable.

This event will focus on the tools, techniques and methodologies required as well as utilising case studies to highlight the challenges and opportunities arising from the transition from an ASIC to a programmable solution.

As always, in addition to the presentations and panel discussion, there will be the opportunity to meet and network with attendees from a variety of organisations ranging from fabless semiconductor providers, IDMs, tool suppliers, foundries, design service providers, IP providers, training, research and academic institutions.
