Microcontrollers and FPGAs often work together in embedded systems. As more functions move into the FPGA, however, debugging the interface between the two devices becomes more difficult. The ...

A customizable microcontroller positioned between MCU, DSP, FPGA and ASIC technologies An alternative technology that exploits the strengths of MCUs, DSPs and FPGAs, and can provide an intermediate ...

A microcontroller can’t do this parallelism. Lastly, a microcontroller burns active power in its wait states; it always needs to run code while waiting for an interrupt. An FPGA, on the other hand, ...

Rated at 30 MIPS at a frequency of 40 MHz, the Field Programmable System Level Integration Circuit (FPSLIC) combines an 8-bit microcontroller with over 50 kgates of FPGA or PLD programmable logic ...

FPGAs are well-suited for many microcontroller applications because they are relatively inexpensive, include a wide range of embedded memory blocks, have adequate I/Os for nearly any controller ...

Microcontroller-like functionality is typically available as a free macro from major FPGA vendors. The Xilinx microcontroller function occupies 192 logic cells, which represents just 11% of a ...
