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.

In FPGA design, where timing is everything, there are tips and tricks to help designers set up clocks, correctly set timing constraints and then tune parameters of the FPGA, write Angela Sutton and ...

Sunnyvale, California - November 5, 2008- Real Intent, Inc., the leading supplier of verification software for electronic design, announced its first release of Meridian FPGAâ„¢ verification software.

[John] wanted a project to help him learn more about FPGAs. So he started with his wooden clock — made with an Arduino — and ported it over to a Lattice FPGA using Icestorm. What’s nice is that he ...

It used to be that designing hardware required schematics and designing software required code. Sure, a lot of people could jump back and forth, but it was clearly a different discipline. Today, a lot ...

Digital systems need clocks. Today’s designs require more from clocking schemes than ever before, and it’s likely this trend will continue. Increasing power constraints have resulted in finer-grained ...

No discussion on FPGA design is complete without addressing the issues associated with transferring signals that are not synchronized to the clock into clocked logic. While this should be a digital ...

Clock domain crossings are significant sources of field system failures. Despite this fact, designs continue to be released without fully verified CDCs. A false sense of security resulting from ...

Californian start-up Achronix has revealed details of its 1.5GHz asynchronous FPGA, which includes 10.3Gbit/s serialiser/deserialisers (serdes). “We get our speed from the underlying silicon ...

A few years ago the market was rife with deep learning chip startups aiming at AI training. This, however, is the year of the inference ASIC. But with millions invested in taping out a new chip in an ...
