When I was involved in mainframe design, we dealt with logic gates that would be packed a few dozen per chip. Comparable designs now occur within ASICs and FPGAs. These days, designers turn to off-the ...

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 ...

In an earlier column (see "Embedded Dev Board Boasts Spartan 7 FPGA With Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 MCU," I made mention of my friend Adam Taylor, who is the founder of a high-tech consultancy called ...

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 ...
