Facing Up To Today’s FPGA Verification Challenges

Today it is not unusual for FPGA users to have to deal with more than one language in their designs. At earlier stages of the design development it may be necessary to interface HDL simulation with ...

Take The FPGA Plunge

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 ...

An FPGA-to-ASIC case study for refining smart meter design

Many embedded system designs are first implemented using FPGAs. This may be for quicker prototyping or to provide a platform for software development. Sometimes, the FPGAs will remain in the design ...

Understanding FPGAs – From Architecture to SoC, RFSoC, and Embedded FPGA Technologies

One of the most crucial components of modern digital systems, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provide for flexibility, parallel processing, and hardware-level acceleration. FPGAs, in contrast ...
