This article presents programmable logic that puts microcontroller-based designs on the fast track. The article presents a brief discussion of programmable logic basics, FPGA architectures, the FPGA ...

The PAL family continued to evolve into the late 1980s, with faster, lower-power devices, including ones that could be reprogrammed. The most complex device type developed was probably the PAL22V10, ...

ASIC designers can obtain programmable logic's reconfigurability. Adaptive Silicon's RAM-based reprogrammable logic IP for ASICs, the MSA2500, has up to 25,000 ASIC gates for flexible designs. Typical ...

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 ...

Researchers at Fudan University have achieved a breakthrough by fabricating the first Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) ...

At densities ranging from half a million to 5 million gates, programmable devices still do not match the gate count of application-specific integrated circuits and system-on-chip designs that use ...

This course presents the building blocks and concepts associated with digital electronic networks. The material presented will cover the design requirements necessary to develop successfully ...

We have always had programmable analog circuits. Any circuit that makes outputs change as a function of inputs is in some way programmable. Examples include gain change as a function of voltage or ...

Xilinx has begun shipment of its Kintex-7 K235T fpgas. The company claims it is the fastest product rollout of next generation programmable logic devices built with 28nm technology. The devices are ...
