Regardless of the amount of time and energy FPGA designers invest attempting to create “right-first-time” designs, the functional complexities, performance requirements, and high gate counts of large ...

There are times when we become stuck in the past, or choose to believe something that is no longer true or actually never was true. As we get older, we are all guilty of that. History tends to rewrite ...

For the past two decades, most designs have been incremental in nature. They heavily leveraged IP used in previous designs, and that IP often was developed by third parties. But there are growing ...

FPGA synthesis comes with pitfalls that are becoming more of a liability as the devices themselves grow in complexity. Timing closure can take multiple synthesis iterations. Also, design iterations ...

Today's FPGAs are large--really large. The largest are closing in on 200,000 logic elements and include features like memories, analog phase-locked loops, transceivers, and more. Yet that complexity ...
