Programmable logic has long been considered too costly for use in high volume, cost-sensitive consumer electronics products such as handsets. Yet, this is exactly what is happening, particularly among ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced programmable logic devices (PLDs) that enable engineers to streamline their logic designs for any application. Credit: Texas Instruments With the ability to ...

FPGAs, CPLDs, PALs, and GALs, Oh My! This week’s Hacklet focuses on some of the best Programmable Logic projects on Hackaday.io! Programmable logic devices tend to have a steep learning curve. Not ...

Texas Instruments has introduced six programmable logic devices with between 8 and 14 pins “with the ability to integrate up to 40 combinational and sequential logic and analogue functions into one ...

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 ...

In the world of programmable logic, the phrase 'ultra low density' stands out starkly. The reason? Over the years, the trend has to been to create devices with ever more features on ever smaller ...

Microprocessor and programmable logic design are converging, though they still require a common language. After one of my engineers told me that she had found a typo in her hardware, I thought just ...

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. — After 40 years in the high-tech industry, Willem P. “Wim” Roelandts, president, chairman, CEO of Xilinx Inc. says he is still interested in electronics – a passion that began ...
