The biggest and baddest FPGAs currently come from Altera (www.altera.com) and Xilinx (www.xilinx.com). These devices are SRAM-based, which means they offer the highest logic densities, the highest ...

Making a chip run faster is no longer guaranteed by shrinking features or moving to a different manufacturing process. It now requires a fundamental change in the architecture of the chip itself. The ...

You do not need know about FPGAs to integrate reconfigurable RTL into your SoC: our software maps your RTL into our EFLX array for you. But if you are curious, read on. FPGAs are field programmable ...

FPGAs can have a steep learning curve, so getting started tutorials are a popular topic. Intel recently published a video titled “Basics of Programmable Logic: FPGA Architecture” and you can see it ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

MUNICH — Although in 2001 FPGA vendor Xilinx was briefly caught in the down-draught of the communications bust it has generally managed to turn in better financial numbers than most of its ASIC rivals ...

One of the many benefits of an FPGA-based solution is the ability to implement a mathematical algorithm in the best possible manner for the problem at hand. For example, if response time is critical, ...

It’s time to do a series on logic including things such as programmable logic, state machines, and the lesser known demons such as switching hazards. It is best to start at the beginning — but even ...

With the increasing size and complexity of FPGA devices, there is a need for more efficient verification methods. Timing simulation can be the most revealing verification method; however, it is often ...

Lattice Semiconductor’s ECP3 family of low-cost FPGAs is AEC-Q100-certified for the automotive sector. Designed for driver assistance applications such as the replacement of wing mirrors with camera ...
