FPGAs (FIELD-PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAYS) are ICs that contain large numbers of unconnected gates whose function you determine by downloading to the FPGA a wiring list that determines how the gates ...

As many as half of all embedded designs have an FPGA next to a microcontroller. The FPGA can be used to implement anything from glue logic, to custom IP, to accelerators for computationally intensive ...

It’s been a few years since the introduction of the first Open Source toolchain for FPGAs. You would think a free and Open way to program FPGAs would be a boon for hardware development, but so far ...

Given that the industry is beginning to reach the limits of what can physically and economically be achieved through further shrinkage of process geometries, reducing feature size and increasing ...

Sandra Rivera, Altera: »FPGAs are particularly suitable for AI applications at the edge because they offer low latency, deterministic behaviour and high efficiency – this is especially true in areas ...

If you've talked on a cell phone, browsed the Internet, or watched a show on 4K TV, you've benefited from field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Other examples of FPGAs at work include Google search ...

This course will give you the foundation for FPGA design in Embedded Systems. You will learn what an FPGA is and how this technology was developed, how to select the best FPGA architecture for a given ...

The key part of the FPGA design is to determine the voltage requirements needed and the current requirements of each voltage rail. The major FPGA vendors offer comprehensive calculators that take into ...

Structured ASICs require developers to re-program only the top level metal layers when customizing their designs, enabling faster development time and low unit cost. However, many structured ASICs ...

FPGAs can be targeted at a wide array of automation hardware, including vision systems. In a recent blog post, The Coming Age of Vision Guided Robots, the impact low-cost imaging sensors are having on ...
