Where does the time go? About four years ago as I pen these words, I was introduced to expert Swedish ASIC designer Sven-Åke Andersson. At that time, Sven was aware that, with their increasing NRE ...

Editor's Note: As you will soon discover, the author – Sven – has created the most fantastic on-going tutorial on learning how to design with FPGAs from the ground up. This article is merely an ...

What is the biggest factor affecting the productivity of FPGA design cycles? Many designers say achieving timing closure is critical in getting a design to market – and with good reason. Achieving ...

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 ...

With the basic logic gates (NAND, NOR, NOT etc.) we can build a simple adder to multiplier to complete processor. If we can connect these logic elements inside a chip the way we want using a software ...

The MARS FPGA is an ambitious, open-source project designed to surpass the capabilities of existing FPGA-based retro gaming systems, particularly the MiSTer FPGA. This powerhouse development board ...

High-level synthesis (HLS) tools, which transform C/C++ source code to Verilog/VHDL, have been commercially available for over 15 years. HLS tools from FPGA vendors and EDA companies promise improved ...
