As the economic slowdown takes its toll on development budgets, embedded-system designers are turning to FPGA (field-programmable-gate-array) technology to shorten design cycles, combat obsolescence, ...

1. Embedded FPGAs must be expensive. Geoff Tate, CEO and Co-Founder of Flex Logix Technologies Inc. An embedded FPGA is similar to an FPGA chip, but simpler and cheaper. An FPGA chip has 30% or more ...

Embedded FPGAs can improve product usefulness and economics in multiple ways, whether it involves customization, in-system programmability, or extending battery life. An embedded field-programmable ...

Last week there was a bustle of activity at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Boston. In particular, it was apparent that the use of programmable logic in the form of FPGAs is dramatically ...

FPGAs increasingly are being viewed as a critical component in heterogeneous designs, ratcheting up their stature and the amount of attention being given to programmable devices. Once relegated to ...

Build a high performance quad-channel H.264 encoder using lowcost, low power FPGAs to deliver higher resolutions and frame rates. Good techniques for FPGA implementations of the mod operation have ...

Market research reports show that 10% or more of all FPGAs are used by military and aerospace systems. Clearly FPGA provides major advantages in the flexibility to adapt to changing standards and ...

Programmable devices are being adopted in more market segments, but they still haven’t been included in major SoCs. That could change. Systems on chip have been made with many processing variants ...

HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable leader, today announced the Lattice CrossLinkU™-NX FPGA family, the industry’s first FPGAs with ...

Lately I’ve been paying extra close attention to Lattice Semiconductor as I watch its rapidly improving focus and financials. In the past year, it installed respected AMD veteran Jim Anderson as CEO ...
