High-Level Synthesis Design Tools vs. Conventional FPGA Design Tools

Ⅰ Overview of Conventional FPGA Design Tools Hardware description languages (HDLs) like VHDL and Verilog became the main languages for defining the algorithms that execute on the FPGA chip over the first 20 years of FPGA development. These low-level languages combine some of the advantages of existing textual languages with the understanding that you are […]

ALCHITRY – FPGA DEVELOPMENT BOARDS FOR HOBBYISTS

Digital design refers to creating digital circuits. Digital circuits are in basically everything today and range from something as simple as a circuit that turns an LED on when a button is pressed to the complex processor in the device you are reading this on. Traditionally, these circuits are built by making ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) out

XFM: A 32-VOICE POLYPHONIC FM SYNTHESIZER ON AN FPGA

There’s something about Frequency Modulation (FM) synthesizer chips that appeals to a large audience. That’s one of the reasons behind [René Ceballos]’s XFM project, aiming to duplicate on an FPGA the sound of pure-FM synthesizer chips of the past such as the Yamaha DX series, OPL chip series and TX81Z/802/816. The result is a polyphonic, 32-voice,

PicoEVB, PCIe FPGA Design in a Compact and Affordable Device

FPGA (Field-programmable gate arrays) devices have gained popularity in the past few years, mainly because of their ability to “become” any digital circuit given that there are enough logic blocks. These devices have endless applications and are sometimes faster which is why they are also used for hardware acceleration. Joining the FPGA industry is the

Taking Advantage of Embedded FPGA (eFPGA)

By Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, Inc. Whether you are designing an SoC, MCU or other chip, the one common heartache is “freezing RTL.” Up until that point, it’s no problem making a change or update, but once it’s frozen, the chip design is “locked in.” A change after that point could require a
