FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are ideal for implementing the data formatting, timing, and the specialized glue logic needed to connect real-time peripherals like modems, A/D converters digital receivers to programmable processors.

However, with their newly-acquired DSP capabilities, FPGAs are now expanding these traditional roles to help offload computationally-intensive digital signal processing functions from the processor.

GateFlow® is Pentek’s flagship collection of FPGA Design Resources. The GateFlow line is compatible with the Xilinx Virtex products and is available as two separate offerings:

The GateFlow FPGA Design Kit includes design information and software files to deploy unused FPGA resources for implementing user-defined algorithms.

The GateFlow Installed IP Cores are high-performance, off-the-shelf signal processing functions installed at the factory as firmware in the FPGAs of Pentek boards.

"I'm not an FPGA engineer and I don't speak VHDL!"

"Using Pentek's GateFlow Design Kit saved me valuable development time. I've successfully taken a function developed in Simulink with Xilinx IP and inserted it into the 7142 ISE project in place of the DAC's user block. I used your modified project and took advantage of the control register bits you set up, so I want you to know that was really helpful. I was able to generate the MCS file and test it in the hardware, and everything worked great. I appreciate your help along the way! A bonus was that I could do it mostly on my own quickly (as opposed to writing Verilog or VHDL that would have taken a lot of time and research). So we're convinced at this point that we really do have an end-to-end rapid development process for FPGAs!"
