DSP systems are best described by using a combination of both graphical-and language-based methods. The MathWorks, an industry leader in DSP modeling software, caters to this dichotomy by providing a ...

A recent trend has been to convert high-level constructs into FPGA code like Verilog or VHDL. Silice goes the other way: it converts very hardware-specific concepts to Verilog and aims to be a more ...

There are a number of system design factors requiring consideration when implementing an FPGA processor. Some of those factors include the use of co-design, processor architectural implementation, ...

This online engineering specialization will help you gain proficiency in creating prototypes or products for a variety of applications using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). You will cover a ...

As DSP technologies find their way into high-end, high-complexity commercial and consumer applications, developers are discovering the limitations of traditional Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) to ...

Thanks to collaboration between The MathWorks and Mentor Graphics, MathWorks’ Simulink HDL Coder users gain a smooth path into synthesis. Mentor’s Precision Synthesis tool now supports HDL generated ...

Recently, Brian Bailey organized a round table that resulted in a two-part article called Supporting CPUs Plus FPGAs. The experts discussed the evolving reality of systems design based on FPGAs and ...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are used extensively in today’s electronic assemblies and test engineers are also choosing to incorporate user-programmable FPGA instrumentation as part of their ...

From the very first day that you learn a new hardware description language (HDL), you reuse code. Initially, this might involve copying an example and modifying it in order to learn and expand your ...

To some degree, FPGA prototyping has become commonplace in the majority of SoC development programs. This paper is a brief discussion of four aspects of this type of approach. First the forces behind ...
