When combined with advances in FPGA technologies that ease complex interface design efforts, Chronology's TimingDesigner can simplify design issues and provide advanced accurate control of high-speed ...

FPGAs are getting larger, more complex, and significantly harder to verify and debug. In the past, FPGAs were considered a relatively quick and simple way to get to market before committing to the ...

Intelligent design of the FPGA interface is an imperative when using FPGA devices to meet leading-edge system interface requirements such as DDR3. An FPGA interface design without PCB process ...

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 ...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are used extensively in today’s electronic assemblies and test engineers are also choosing to incorporate user-programmable FPGA instrumentation as part of their ...

Integrating advanced fpgas on a pcb is becoming increasingly challenging, with issues including generating optimal fpga pin assignments that do not add layers to a pcb or increase the time required to ...

With the basic logic gates (NAND, NOR, NOT etc.) we can build a simple adder to multiplier to complete processor. If we can connect these logic elements inside a chip the way we want using a software ...

High-level synthesis (HLS) tools, which transform C/C++ source code to Verilog/VHDL, have been commercially available for over 15 years. HLS tools from FPGA vendors and EDA companies promise improved ...

Users of Xilinx’s Series 7 FPGAs will have a choice between two development tools. Now in its 13th revision, Xilinx’s ISE supports all of the company’s FPGAs. The Vivado Design Suite supports all of ...

As FPGA devices include more logic, memory and special functions, such as memory interfaces, DSP blocks and multiple high-speed SERDES channels, and move to successively leading edge process ...
