This post sponsored by Texas Instruments. Programmable logic has been around since the days when new 8-bit microcontrollers were flourishing. And while 8-bit microcontrollers are still flourishing, ...

Programmable logic has come a long way from the simple devices we started out with. Remember Programmable Array Logic, or PALs? In bipolar technology the ICC on even a small PAL was over 100mA, and ...

Yeah I am still a little pissed that the competition is still around and we aren’t, and by “we” I mean Commodore Business Machines (CBM). It was Commodore that had the most popular home computer ever ...

The global embedded controllers market revenue was US$ 4.63 billion in 2020. The global embedded controllers market revenue is forecast to reach US$ 10.92 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual ...

Programmable-logic devices are the fastest growing segment of the logic-device family for two fundamental reasons. Their ever-increasing gate count per device gathers up functions that you might ...

The paper describes how, with a SOPC (System on a Programmable Chip) architecture embedded with a 32-Bit NIOS-II, a Layer 2 Ethernet switch can be implemented in a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) ...

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 ...

Eight new reference designs, a $49 development kit for the ProcessorPM POWR605 power manager device, and a $69 ispMACH 4000ZE Pico Development Kit are now available. The new kits are ideal for ...
