CHIPit Extension Boards The CHIPit Rapid Prototyping Plus Systems are scalable multi-FPGA products using the Synopsys 3D Switching technology. This patented technology offers maximum interconnect flexibility between FPGAs and extension sites and enables an optimized implementation to achieve the highest possible system performance. The open system architecture of CHIPit systems provides sufficient user IOs through the extension sites to enable adoption and verification of a design in a real system environment utilizing high-speed interfaces like PCI-Express, DVI, or USB 2.0

The CHIPit sofware suites are a comprehensive set of tools for quick and automated design implementation, powerful debugging and extensive design and software verification. The easy-to-use software guides the user step-by-step through the flow and significantly reduces the time for repetitive design implementation.

The PHX Mini PCI Ethernet USB board is a half-size extension board (PHX form factor) and is designed so that the user has access to most of the connectors on the user interface panel on the back of the CHIPit system.

The Platinum Edition can handle complex ASIC and SoC Designs up to 30M ASIC gates and aims at customers who need a very flexible and high-speed verification solution to shorten the time to market by eliminating costly respins and by providing early prototypes for software development or the end-user.

The CHIPit Iridium Edition, a very cost effective solution for all stages of hardware-assisted verification, gives ASIC & SoC design engineers unprecedented speed and flexibility to verify and debug their designs.
