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 ...

Inside any electronic device, from an old television remote to a global positioning system, there will be at least one microcontroller unit (MCU) and, in many cases, several. MCUs are used in ...

Fig 1. Intel’s E600C blends an Intel Atom processor with an Altera FPGA on a multi-chip package linking the two using PCI Express links. Fig 2. Xilinx’s Zynq-7000 EPP puts a full dual-core Cortex-A9 ...

When you think of microcontroller development, you probably picture either a breadboard with a chip or a USB-connected circuit board. But Tim Ansell pictured an ARM dev board that is almost completely ...

Plano, Texas , October 12, 2006 - Domain Technologies announces the availability of the industry's first, royalty-free, synthesizable MCS8051 code-compatible microcontroller netlist library and ...

FPGAs offer flexibility to handle the explosion in electronic content in today's automotive systems. Part 1 of this feature dealt with the burgeoning growth in automotive electronics applications, ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. FPGAs are wonderful tools. They consist of a collection of logic cells called lookup tables (LUTs) surrounded by an ...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits that provide the foundation to implement custom digital circuits. These highly customizable ICs make it possible to design complex ...

Programmable devices are being adopted in more market segments, but they still haven’t been included in major SoCs. That could change. Systems on chip have been made with many processing variants ...

Today ahead of the Bay Area Maker Faire, Arduino has announced a bevy of new boards that bring modern features and modern chips to the Arduino ecosystem. Most ambitious of these new offerings is a ...

FPGAs are reaching deeper and wider inside of automobiles, playing an increasingly important role across more systems within a vehicle as the electronic content continues to grow. The role of FPGAs in ...

Intel refreshed its FPGA line-up with cost-optimized offerings, released its FPGA software stack as open source, and added a new processor design based on the RISC-V architecture. The first of the new ...
