One of the most important steps in the design process is to identify how many different clocks to use and how to route them. This article tells you how to use routing resources efficiently.

[John] wanted a project to help him learn more about FPGAs. So he started with his wooden clock — made with an Arduino — and ported it over to a Lattice FPGA using Icestorm. What’s nice is that he ...

It used to be that designing hardware required schematics and designing software required code. Sure, a lot of people could jump back and forth, but it was clearly a different discipline. Today, a lot ...

Sunnyvale, California - November 5, 2008- Real Intent, Inc., the leading supplier of verification software for electronic design, announced its first release of Meridian FPGAâ„¢ verification software.

Clock domain crossings are significant sources of field system failures. Despite this fact, designs continue to be released without fully verified CDCs. A false sense of security resulting from ...

Clock signals in synchronous digital systems (such as those found in telecommunications) define when and how quickly data is moved through that system. A clock distribution network, consisting of ...

No discussion on FPGA design is complete without addressing the issues associated with transferring signals that are not synchronized to the clock into clocked logic. While this should be a digital ...

Californian start-up Achronix has revealed details of its 1.5GHz asynchronous FPGA, which includes 10.3Gbit/s serialiser/deserialisers (serdes). “We get our speed from the underlying silicon ...

Flexibility is key to FPGA success, but speed is equally important. Achronix almost triples the throughput of the system by taking clock gating to the extreme. The Achronix Speedster FPGAs use a ...

A few years ago the market was rife with deep learning chip startups aiming at AI training. This, however, is the year of the inference ASIC. But with millions invested in taping out a new chip in an ...
