Semulator V2.4dsr7 of 16 Faster Simulation The SEmulator can speed up your Modelsim simulation:

Semulator V2.4dsr8 of 16 Clock Factory You can program every clock source -> clock input by a click

Semulator V2.4dsr9 of 16 JTAG Debugger / Scanner You can read and write every pin of every component in the JTAG chain, customer specific chain in DUT is supported.

Semulator V2.4dsr10 of 16 What you need for SEmulation: A standard FPGA development system e.g. Hpe_midi A PCIe X4 over cable communication card e.g. Hpe_com1 Software package Hpe_desk includes SEmulator, Clock Factory Programmer, JTAG Scanner/Debugger, ALTERA Quartus And last but not least a PC and MENTOR Modelsim SE

Semulator V2.4dsr11 of 16 Advantages of SEmulation Early and continued testing of final hardware  Higher design quality / reliability Dramatically decrease RTL simulation time  Decrease development time Standard FPGA board for development, different boards available  No additional hardware cost Hardware in the Loop (Cosimulation)  Every external hardware can be implemented easily in the SEmulator ‘No’ limitation on pin and gate count  Broad family concept – Many extension boards

Semulator V2.4dsr12 of 16 Roadmap for 2008 Logic Analyzer Based on ALTERA’s Signal Tap we develop a Logic Analyzer for internal signals. The difference, we transfer the signals via our 10 Gbit PCI Express I/F to the PC. This allows higher number of signals for a longer time period. Fault Injector and Analyzer Together with the University of Vienna we develop a Hardware Fault Injector and the required analysis software. External SEmulator From Q onwards we will deliver in addition an external SEmulator. A standard high speed connector on a board allow SEmulation, high speed Logic Analysis and Fault Injection on every FPGA. Or simple a high speed window into the FPGA for every kind of application.
