Santa Cruz, Calif. – Mentor Graphics Corp. will roll out a tool this week that it says will enable concurrent FPGA and board design. I/O Designer lets those designing printed-circuit boards ...

It's time to hand off the product of your blood, sweat, and tears to PCB layout. I won't delve into PCB design here (see some of the articles below), but will point out a few things to think about for ...

The hackers over at Radiona.org, a Zagreb Makerspace, have been hard at work designing the ULX3S, an open-source development board for LATTICE ECP5 FPGAs. This board might help make 2019 the Year o… ...

We recently noticed an open source design for TinyFPGA A-Series boards from [Luke Valenty]. The tiny boards measure 18 mm by 30.5 mm and are breadboard friendly. You can choose a board that holds a… ...

Xilinx and Ansoft have created a Xilinx Virtex-II Pro X FPGA-based gigabit interconnect design kit for high-speed PCB and backplane designs. The kit is designed to predict the quality of a signal and ...

This will let you start working with the layout engineer and planning for pc-board (PCB) routability, escape planning, thermal issues, and signal integrity early in the design process.

This can create board level connectivity and timing closure challenges, which can impact both performance and time-to-market for designers. New EDA tools bring together PCB solutions and FPGA vendor ...

Designing pcbs was at one time a sequential process. But the growth in popularity of fpgas has seen that process become more of a parallel operation. Where fpgas once provided 'glue logic' and similar ...

The SBC347D also features an FPGA. Rose noted the design constraints meant there was only one place for it to go – near the bottom right hand edge. “That’s not ideal as it has to connect to all areas ...

PRO DESIGN has more than 37 years of experience in the EDA market, and as a provider in the E²MS market. PRO DESIGN has built extensive knowledge in the areas of FPGA board development, electronic ...
