Enterprise Engagements

Companies whose FPGA programs operate under conditions a standard engagement cannot accommodate — sensitive IP, controlled information, and compliance regimes that govern every step of design and characterization.

Instant FPGA engagements are structured to honor those conditions. The framework's reach and the engineers' judgment apply the same way; the structure around the engagement is what changes.

Six competencies that distinguish Instant FPGA engineering from generalist FPGA consulting. Each one is named because few firms can name it credibly.

• 01
  Large multi-FPGA designs
  Designs spanning multiple FPGAs across multiple boards. Inter-FPGA partitioning, board-to-board signal integrity, system-level timing closure across the fabric of an entire instrument. Common in radar, EW, software-defined radio, and large-scale signal processing. Delivered turnkey when that's what the program needs.
• 02
  Fabric instability and silicon-level debugging
  World-class expertise in the failures that happen below the abstraction layer. Fabric instability under temperature and voltage stress. Designs that pass every static check and still fail on the bench. Post-route results that diverge from synthesis. Vivado runs that regress between versions. We know where the bodies are buried because we've been working with this silicon since it was on a whiteboard.
• 03
  High-clock-speed fabric design
  425MHz closed at the 130nm process node. 700MHz closed on UltraScale+. Two decades of pushing FPGA fabric to the limits of its silicon. The team that hit those numbers is on every engagement.
• 04
  Static timing on Simulink-generated RTL
  Getting timing met on the toolchain that's notorious for not closing. Simulink generates RTL fast; making it close timing on real silicon takes the kind of debugging the standard flow doesn't help with.
• 05
  Large-memory simulation
  Simulation infrastructure for designs requiring more than 100GB memory footprint. Gate-level, post-route, mixed-signal — the verification jobs that don't fit on a workstation. Most consultancies decline these workloads. We run them.
• 06
  Remote silicon debugging
  Live access to the customer's hardware as part of the engagement. When a turnkey system needs debugging at the customer's facility — or when an active program needs help on a specific board — we debug the silicon remotely without anyone flying. The same infrastructure powers Instant Support for individual engineers.
