Using dual-port memories (“dual ports”) as system interconnects has proven to be an effective interface strategy for bridging multiple processing elements in high-performance applications. Not only do ...

The end result was that a system gate from one FPGA vendor might represent a radically different number of equivalent gates as compared to a system gate from another vendor. And then things started to ...

While techniques such as logic emulation provide a new tool specifically for logic designers, many other FPGA-based systems serve as high-performance replacements for standard computers for everything ...

“The system AXI interface is likely to clock at a relatively high frequency, and the logic on the eFPGA may or may not run at the same frequency,” says Sanghavi. “Thus, the figure shows a block that ...

2. Limitations in FPGA based complex. System Designs Following are limitations usually encountered in any FPGA based complex system designs: Lower correlation of device capabilities such as area and ...

A US start-up has come up with a twist on the idea of offloading processor intensive tasks to a block of programmable logic. Stretch says programmers can use C and C++ to target its device directly, ...

The first FPGA was invented by Ross Freeman (cofounder of Xilinx) in 1985 and since then their logic capacity has enhanced greatly and they have become a popular choice because FPGA systems can be ...

The ADC is a common analog building block and almost always is needed when interfacing digital logic, like that in an FPGA or CPLD, to the 'real world' of analog sensors. This article will explain the ...

The FPGA is a type of semiconductor that can be reconfigured by a customer or designer after manufacturing – something ...

IBM has added such scratchpads (not implemented with FPGA logic, mind you) to its System z and Power processors over the years, allowing them to implement new instructions, or create composite ...
