At densities ranging from half a million to 5 million gates, programmable devices still do not match the gate count of application-specific integrated circuits and system-on-chip designs that use ...

Before long, platform FPGAs containing fixed or configurable processors and custom hardware will dominate the field of hardware design. By then, hardware/software codesign will be the norm. Fifteen ...

When electronics release the Magic Smoke, more often than not it’s a fairly sedate event. Something overheats, the packaging gets hot enough to emit that characteristic and unmistakable odor, and ...

Strategies for EDA tool usage will change course as gate levels, and ultimately costs, rise in programmable logic designs. For designs below 25,000 gates, the basic tools from logic vendors and many ...

Within the first week of debut, the LOGi-family of FPGA development boards has surpassed its Kickstarter crowd-funding goal by four times the amount. The popular boards simplify embedded systems ...

Using digital logic gates such as AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND, NOR, and XNOR and other related logic functions is often the foundation for defining the relationship between electrical signals and how they ...
