Pentek GateFlow  

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!"
