In its third major and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) announcement in the last 12 months, Lattice Semiconductor Corp. has introduced MachXO, a new product family that combines the key features ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are often used in embedded devices because they can be reprogrammed. The question is, how do you get the new program to the device when it is in the field? There ...

FPGAs, SPLDs and PALs, and CPLDs are all programmable-logic devices, although their internal-architecture implementations differ. This article uses the term “programmable-logic device” to refer to the ...

Editor’s choice of 10 programmable devices which are intended to move configurable system design to a new level of performance. Achronix Speedster SPD60 is a 1.5GHz asynchronous FPGA which includes 10 ...

Texas Instruments has introduced six programmable logic devices with between 8 and 14 pins “with the ability to integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analogue functions into one ...

Before long, platform FPGAs containing fixed or configurable processors and custom hardware will dominate the field of hardware design. By then, hardware/software codesign will be the norm. Fifteen ...

AMD has finished its acquisition of Xilinx, which ended up costing close to $49 billion instead of the original $35 billion projected when the deal was announced in October 2020 thanks to the rise of ...

Programmable logic has come a long way from the simple devices we started out with. Remember Programmable Array Logic, or PALs? In bipolar technology the ICC on even a small PAL was over 100mA, and ...

Programmable logic in automotive applications is essential, given the parade of almost constant updates and shifts in direction, but exactly where the technology will be used has become a moving ...

Do you speak GAL? [Peterzieba] does, and has pulled together a collection of documents and tools so that you can too. There’s a dividing line in electronic engineering education, between those who ...
