[John] wanted a project to help him learn more about FPGAs. So he started with his wooden clock — made with an Arduino — and ported it over to a Lattice FPGA using Icestorm. What’s nice is that he ...

Sunnyvale, California - November 5, 2008- Real Intent, Inc., the leading supplier of verification software for electronic design, announced its first release of Meridian FPGAâ„¢ verification software.

It used to be that designing hardware required schematics and designing software required code. Sure, a lot of people could jump back and forth, but it was clearly a different discipline. Today, a lot ...

Californian start-up Achronix has revealed details of its 1.5GHz asynchronous FPGA, which includes 10.3Gbit/s serialiser/deserialisers (serdes). “We get our speed from the underlying silicon ...

Clock domain crossings are significant sources of field system failures. Despite this fact, designs continue to be released without fully verified CDCs. A false sense of security resulting from ...

No discussion on FPGA design is complete without addressing the issues associated with transferring signals that are not synchronized to the clock into clocked logic. While this should be a digital ...

A few years ago the market was rife with deep learning chip startups aiming at AI training. This, however, is the year of the inference ASIC. But with millions invested in taping out a new chip in an ...

Flexibility is key to FPGA success, but speed is equally important. Achronix almost triples the throughput of the system by taking clock gating to the extreme. The Achronix Speedster FPGAs use a ...

Power hungry systems cannot be free of power supply noise. In general, system designers try to use low noise linear power supplies whenever possible. However, excessive power dissipation usually ...
