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 ...

Now is the time to invest in programmable logic devices (PLDs), and there’s no better way to do that than through Altera and Xilinx. Here are six reasons why. Logic is used to manage the interchange ...

Embedded microcontrollers are the original SoC devices. In the last few years FPGA and PLD manufacturers have proffered the term "System- on- a Programmable Chip" (SOPC) which captures the idea of ...

Multimedia devices or systems can range from a very basic consumer audio video player to a highly complex audio video capture, edit, and playback system used in a professional studio environment.

The world has faced many geopolitical, environmental, economic, and technological changes over the past several years, and with these have come new learnings and opportunities to refine our practices ...

A system-on-module (SOM) introduced by Avnet Electronics Marketing boosts programmable logic threefold, enabling engineers to run more complex applications for models in evaluation and prototyping, ...

Modern PLDs allow designers to implement an entire system on a programmable chip. Device vendors are providing more sophisticated EDA tools. EDA-tools providers have entered the growing and ...

Engineers grappling with FPGA design have new EDA tools ready to reclaim time-to-design completion. Strategies for EDA tool usage will change course as gate levels, and ultimately costs, rise in ...

The Internet of Things (IoT), which comprises a growing number of physical objects connected to the Internet, promises to revolutionize the way humans and electronic devices interact with one another.

A dozen or so years ago, there were few sophisticated control systems in the scrap metal recycling industry. However, as the complexity of the systems has increased over the years, improved control ...
