Overview:	The Aptix system emulation products were developed to rapidly prototype, verify, and debug complex electronic systems in a real-time environment, unlike ASIC emulators and software simulators. The System Explorer products combine Aptix's proprietary FPIC (Field Programmable Interconnect Component) and FPCB (Field Programmable Circuit Board) and the accompanying software to emulate a complete system. The FPCBs contain free holes for the insertion of user components, the connections between the components are routed through the FPICs. New ASIC components can be implemented in multiple FPGAs and combined with other system components in Aptix's system emulation solutions. This approach delivers verification throughput up to 30 MHz - which is six orders of magnitude (10**6) higher than simulation. The real-time verification is key for DSP-based environments where images, sound, protocols, and subjective judgement comprise the validation domain. The Aptix product family includes the System Explorer MP3 and System Explorer MP4. Low-cost hardware replicates are available for early software development for both MP3 and MP4 products. Aptix tools accept multiple netlist formats, including EDIF.
