The introduction to FPGA Design – Best Practices for Team-based Design by Philip Simpson of Altera, promises the book will “help you adopt the best design methodology to meet your requirements.” It ...

[Roland Lutz] gave a talk about FPGA design using the free tools for Lattice devices at the MetaRheinMainChaosDays conference this year. You can see the video below. It’s a great introduction to FPGAs ...

Programmable logic is about to evolve into a new role in the electronic system. Since the advent of the FPGA over 15 years ago, the number of gates available on a single device is greater than ever ...

This course will give you the foundation for using Hardware Description Languages, specifically VHDL and Verilog for Logic Design. You will learn the history of both VHDL and Verilog and how to use ...

Are methodology manuals selfishly motivated by the vendors who produce them? Sure they are, but that doesn't mean there's nothing in it for you as a design engineer. Here's an introduction to the FPGA ...

Recently, Brian Bailey organized a round table that resulted in a two-part article called Supporting CPUs Plus FPGAs. The experts discussed the evolving reality of systems design based on FPGAs and ...

You see them at almost every user seminar or industry trade show workshop: the Methodology Managers from XYZ Corporation, who describe the system they use to help the company make sense of the ...

With the increasing size and complexity of FPGA devices, there is a need for more efficient verification methods. Timing simulation can be the most revealing verification method; however, it is often ...

The shrinking process geometries are enabling to build more complex SoCs, which has higher risk of re-spins. The FPGA prototyping is an efficient approach to perform pre-silicon SoC validation, ...
