| You need to support a new serial link frequency for our ASIC. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Really? We already support 5 discrete frequencies. Can you tell me more about why you need a sixth? | |

| Well, our ASIC transceiver supports two of your frequencies, but our system team is concerned they won’t get it to work with FPGAs. We need another frequency for bring-up. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Bring-up with FPGAs is your problem? I know we’ve got a couple FPGA development boards internally and with partners. I think I can get you access to the design files, and you can duplicate the layou | |

| You guys have been pretty quiet. Did the ASIC come up with our new part properly? | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| It was surprisingly easy. We worked with your partner’s design files, prototyped with their board, and used the transceiver configuration files you sent us. The board was running in a week. | |
