We’re always excited to get a new chip or SIM card to interface, but our enthusiasm is often dampened by the prototyping process. Interfacing any chip usually means breadboarding a circuit, writing ...

As many as half of all embedded designs have an FPGA next to a microcontroller. The FPGA can be used to implement anything from glue logic, to custom IP, to accelerators for computationally intensive ...

Serial buses dot the landscape of embedded design. From displays to storage to peripherals, serial interfaces make communications possible. Many serial communication interfaces compete for use in ...

System-On-Chip (SoC) designs incorporate more and more Intellectual Property (IP) with each year. In the early years of IP integration there were no standard interfaces and the task of integrating the ...

A shared bus architecture provides a common access point for several memories, allowing users to optimize routing and core performance. In addition, a shared bus architecture provides flexibility to ...

This application note describes how to implement the Bus LVDS (BLVDS) interface in the supported Altera® device families for high-performance multipoint applications. This application note also shows ...

When part of a team, your group can become more capable than a single individual, but only if your team can work together and communicate effectively. Having members of a group talk over each other ...

All computing devices, from smartphones to supercomputers, pass data back and forth along electronic channels called "buses." You can think about the buses like freeways, in that having additional ...

We present the Xilinx Platform Specification Format (PSF) for system design and verification. PSF is a plug-n-play infrastructure, which promotes IP core reusability, time-to-market reduction, and IP ...
