DSP and RF Co-Simulation

Model-Based Design Flow Integration

Seamless integration of Active-HDL™ and Riviera-PRO™ with MathWorks™ MATLAB®/Simulink® and Agilent™ SystemVue® tool suites provides an efficient cross-domain solution for co-design and co-verification of system-level designs with HDL based implementations.

As a part of the integration flow, Aldec enables hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) capability by linking the model-based design environments with FPGA board. Customers can either leverage Aldec’s off-the-shelf HES-DVM™ and HES-7™ products or any custom in-house board with PCIe interface.
