Design Competencies
System ArchitecturePrimary Focus

BLT designs FPGAs, MPSoCs, ACAPs, embedded software,
high-speed/high density PCBs, and complete systems.

RF and Analog Design

SecondaryFocus

BLT handles up to 6 GHZ design work in-house. Above that,
we engage trusted firms to meet our Clients' needs.

FPGA Design and Integration

Primary Focus

FPGA Timing Closure

Primary Focus

FPGA Design Optimization

Primary Focus

Signal Integrity Designand Analysis

Primary Focus

The founder of BLT helped negotiate Xilinx's original patents.
BLT has been designing and pioneering the field of FPGAs
from 1987 and continued to do so after spinning off fromXilinx in 1989.
Absolutely! FPGA/SoC cannot be reliably designed without
performing Timing Closure. BLT has worked with Xilinx todevelop and codify the Xilinx's UltraFast design flow.
Using BLT's design techniques and methodologies, ourClients' designs can fit into smaller, slower speed-grade
devices thus saving thousands, often effectively paying forour services.
Absolutely! FPGA and MPSoC designs must take signal
integrity into consideration. BLT's PCB designs also accountfor a multitude of SI facets. Example: 6U VPX card withFIFTY (50) 10G pairs out the rear.

Experience:Primary Focus

Embedded Processors
Experience:

BLT was one of the first companies IN THE WORLD toreceive Zynq(R) silicon. We created XIP (Execute in Place)technology for Xilinx and, as Xilinx ATPs, CREATED thetraining curriculum and contents for Xilinx SoCs.

Design Services Partner Profile

Embedded Porting /Primary FocusAbsolutely! SoC/MPSoC design can't "talk" to the outside
world (PCB) without hardware and driver support.

SecondaryFocus

BLT can develop embedded applications; however, we
generally suggest that, as experts "in their world," Clients
create their high-level applications, while BLT focuses on theFPGA/SoC/firmware/driver parts of designs.
Experience with camera and high-speed ADC/DACs. VAST
experience and an early pioneer with Xilinx's RFSoC.
