Standard cell ASICs typically feature fine-grained cell architectures. These devices have functions created out of standard single gate primitives, which are combined with custom metal interconnect, ...

Altera and Xilinx, the two titans of FPGAs, which Altera calls look-up-table-based programmable-logic devices, have long touted with near-religious fervor their difference of opinion regarding the ...

Harris Corp. has picked the Altera Stratix II GX FPGA for use in the Harris Platinum line of large-scale routing switchers. The Platinum line supports a wide range of video-signal formats, up to 1080p ...

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) remain at the forefront of modern electronic design, owing to their inherent reconfigurability and cost-effectiveness. Recent advances in placement and ...

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.

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) offer a unique platform for the implementation of high-performance sorting algorithms by combining inherent parallelism with customisable hardware architectures.

Bench setups with physical prototypes lie at the very heart of electrical and electronic engineering. With all due respect to the many powerful forms of modeling and simulation, at some point the ...
