This article reviews the relative strengths and weaknesses of microcontroller (MCU), digital signal processor (DSP), field programmable gate array (FPGA) and application-specific integrated circuit ...

FPGAs now deliver ASIC-like density and performance, and their flexibility and operational characteristics offer distinct advantages. As innovative architectures with embedded processors, memory ...

Worst-case static power consumption for the CAP7L is between 3mW and 4mW ” 98% less that the power consumed by a typical FPGA,” Johnson said. The design flow for the CAP7L is the same as it would be ...

If a customer needs a 512-bit bus coming into our embedded FPGA block at a 500-MHz to 1-GHz data rate, that’s impossible to do with an external FPGA. Cost and power are other considerations that ...

Embedded World 2025 officially commenced this week in Nuremberg, Germany, with Sandra Rivera, CEO of FPGA company Altera, delivering the keynote address. In her presentation, Rivera discussed key ...

A serial RapidIO core, available for use on FPGA platforms or structured or cell-based ASIC designs, has been implemented as a serial RapidIO to PCI bridge. The core has been instantiated in both ...

Also, the FPGA can run hundreds of MAC units in parallel. As a result, the performance may far exceed that of DSP uPs. ASIC. An ASIC offers even higher levels of "dedication" than the FPGA. ASICs are ...

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 ...

Mapping from a field programmable gate array (FPGA) to an application specific IC (ASIC) is subject to some limitations. This white paper identifies some of the most common limitations in this mapping ...

System companies are taking a more proactive role in co-designing their hardware and software roadmaps, so it’s no surprise that they are also driving the adoption of embedded FPGAs (eFPGA). But why ...
