Hobbyists and amateurs rejoice: Embedded Micro is releasing an already assembled FPGA development board for the common folk. No longer will you toil away like some 17th century peasant, holding your ...

Even in today’s digital, IT-intensive radio plant, there is still a need to design and build one-of-a-kind electronic circuits. Simple devices such as digital tone generators and small distribution ...

Fault-tolerant digital circuit design is a critical field that seeks to ensure the uninterrupted operation of electronic systems even when individual components fail ...

In the days of relatively slow 66-MHz buses, designers could ignore signal-integrity effects without problem, certainly for small boards. Similarly, they didn't have to know about S-parameters ...

Overview of digital logic design. Implementation technologies, timing in combinational and sequential circuits, EDA tools, basic arithmetic units, introduction to simulation and synthesis using ...

The world’s first fabrication and design of a silicon chip without direct human input has been completed by researchers at Lero, the University of Limerick-based Research Ireland Centre for Software, ...

In the first of a multi-part series on how to design a custom chip for under $1,000, our Analog Editor gets you started with a Magnificent 7 list of textbooks. TinyTapeout offers a course that ...

Separating the power/ground connections used for the analog sections from those used for the digital areas will improve the isolation of the power supplies. Adding external/internal filtering should ...

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...
