Programmable logic tech like Field Programmable Gate Arrays, also known as FPGAs, is a must-have toolkit for any modern circuit designer. Thanks to their expansive capabilities, these components are ...

The STEPFPGA MXO2Core is a miniature FPGA development core board designed based on Lattice MXO2-4000 FPGA chip. “This versatile FPGA chip combines some great advantages of FPGAs and CPLDs, the ...

RISC-V is on the rise, as highlighted by the RISC-V Workshop. Multicore, 64-bit versions of RISC-V are available, and there’s support for FPGA and eFPGA versions. I’ve been following the RISC-V ...

FPGAs are everywhere in all types of systems for their flexibility and quick time to market. As your volumes grow and you consider an ASIC to cut cost and power, you can now incorporate an embedded ...

When people hear “FPGA” they think “big, expensive, power hungry.” But it doesn’t need to be that way. Renesas has announced their Forge FPGA family. Details are at their website and in one of the ...

Being able to communicate between a host computer and a project is often a key requirement, and for FPGA projects that is easily done by adding a submodule like a UART. A Universal Asynchronous ...

The universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) is an old friend to embedded systems engineers. It's probably the first communications protocol that we learn in college. In this article, we ...

Binary FSK(Frequency Shift Keying) and PSK(Phase Shift keying) are extensively used in telecommunication for digital data transmission. FSK/PSK modulator circuits usually employ analogue components ...

Microchip is aiming at satellite designers with a development kit built around its radiation tolerant RT PolarFire FPGAs, for which MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification has been gained and both Class Q ...

The goal of the Open Compute Project’s data-center-ready secure control module (DC-SCM) design specification. The importance of offloading server management, security, and control functions from the ...
