With so many available processor design options design teams must make the difficult decision to choose the solution that best fits their specific project requirements, while supporting extended ...

Currently dominating the desktop PC motherboard and graphics markets, the PCI Express protocol is poised to supplant PCI and PCI-X interface as the dominant high-bandwidth interconnect for the server, ...

Altera announced a range of FPGA hardware and software solutions at its annual Innovators Day developer conference.

In just a few short years, FPGAs have become an integral part of system design for many applications either as a co-processor or the main system processor. As FPGA size and performance increases, ...

A field programmable gate array (FPGA) is a user-programmable piece of silicon constructed in very large-scale integration (VLSI) technology. The VLSI transistor-level detail is absolutely predefined ...

FPGAs are expensive... and hard to use... and too slow... and difficult to program... and hard to debug... and they draw too much power... and require register-transfer-level (RTL) wizards. That’s the ...

If your board design experience with FPGAs is limited or nil, the prospect of putting one in your next project can be daunting – especially if it's a 1,000-pin monster. Continue reading to get a feel ...

Recently, Brian Bailey organized a round table that resulted in a two-part article called Supporting CPUs Plus FPGAs. The experts discussed the evolving reality of systems design based on FPGAs and ...

[Roland Lutz] gave a talk about FPGA design using the free tools for Lattice devices at the MetaRheinMainChaosDays conference this year. You can see the video below. It’s a great introduction to FPGAs ...

Verifying a complex FPGA design under DO-254 guidelines for use in safety- and mission-critical airborne systems is not without its challenges. Louie De Luna, Aldec Europe’s Product Manager for DO-254 ...
