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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Altera’s non-volatile MAX 10 FPGA (Fig. 1) makes a great platform for custom microcontroller applications using soft-cores like Altera’s 32-bit NIOS II processor. It has on-chip flash and RAM ...

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 ...

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 ...

SDVoE Alliance President, Justin Kennington shares his perspective on how FPGA versus ASIC chips impacts the product supply chain in the AV industry. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

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 ...

Microchip Technology MCHP is expanding its portfolio with the launch of PolarFire 2 FPGA and Intelligent Edge Solution Stacks for PolarFire FPGAs and System-on-Chip (SoC). These new solutions are ...

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 ...
