FPGA and ASICtechnologies play an important role in today’s functional safety product development. Because FPGAs are increasingly replacing electronic components typically used for industrial applications, international standards like the IEC 61508 have to support these evolving technology trends. This article discusses about how FPGA technology can be useful for functional safety applications. Read More Learn [...]
FPGA verification methodologies have to play catch-up, relative to those for ASIC design,which can also be seen in the comparative growth rate in the use of static techniques. This article shows how FPGA plays verification catch-up when the process can’t detect bugs. Read More Find out how T&VS Verification services help to meet the challenging [...]
When looking at embedded FPGA (eFPGA), it is important to know that the design of highly flexible, high-performance, power-efficient eFPGA is not good enough.Customers need to be assured that the design has been thoroughly checked with advanced EDA tools for all of the critical specs. This article explains how to authenticate whether eFPGA is working [...]
FPGAs and ASICs are two different types of chips used for programming. FPGA chip can provide the necessary flexibility but only ASIC chip can provide higher performance requirements. FPGA SoCs offer a solution which provides some performance and low power benefits of an ASIC and flexibility of a FPGA. FPGA SOC is a hybrid device [...]
Now-a-days, embedded FPGAs started to find market with telecommunications. In the beginning, market kept on changing because users were looking beyond cost to the need to support fast-moving standards. Several attempts were done to kickstart the technology, but it ran to issues of cost and density. Many SoC designers applied many ways to keep flexibility [...]
FPGA is playing an important role in today’s functional safety product development. Because FPGAs are increasingly replacing electronic components typically used for industrial applications, international standards like the IEC 61508 have to support these evolving technology trends if they want to keep their relevance. This article describes how flash-based FPGAs simplify functional safety requirements. Read [...]
Data center managers want their facilities to be more reconfigurable and programmable, as opposed to the old PC era of hardware that must be replaced to keep up with changing standards and protocols. Until now, reconfigurability didn’t exist, and a change in protocol could easily require a data center operator to replace every chip in [...]
Floating-point is the most preferred data type to ensure high-accuracy calculations for algorithm modeling and simulation. This article explores how to implement floating-point algorithms in FPGAs or ASICs. Read More Check out T&VS services that help you know why FPGA technology is making new inroads as demands increase for better integration between hardware and software.
FPGAs are often the best end-game for today's companies and can be your fastest path to initial product proof of concept or even full production when unit volumes are small. This article from SemiWiki outlines when did FPGA design looks more like ASIC design. Read More Check out T&VS services that help you know why [...]
