Editor's Note: I've long been impressed by Xcell Journal from Xilinx, both for the quality of its production and the quality of its articles. A few weeks ago we looked at an article on Replacing ...
Like many of us, [Jon] began his journey through the magical world of microcontrollers with an Arduino. For a beginner, the Arduino is a wonderful tool, but [Jon] quickly found himself limited by the ...
With their zero NRE and shorter design cycles, FPGA's are steadily replacing ASIC's in mid-level commercial and even higher-volume consumer applications. But as FPGA usage has steadily grown, so have ...
FPGAs can contain millions of logic gates yet every FPGA, regardless of the complexity of its internal design, must communicate with external devices through its I/O pins. Although this statement is ...
There are easy ways of getting more I/O pins for any project; shift registers, I2C expanders, or ADCs will give you plenty of pins for whatever project you have in mind. All these require extra ...
Ewan Lister based in the UK has this created a new development board called the Alan which he has designed to help you expand the functionality of your projects. The Alan Arduino compatible ...
Abstract: Multi-FPGA boards are widely used for rapid system prototyping. As the ratio between the logic capacity and the number of I/Os for each FPGA generation is increasing, FPGA I/Os are becoming ...
Introduced as a standalone, no-bus version of the FPGA-based Anything I/O card series, the 7I60 I/O card provides 96 I/O bits and four serial ports: two RS-232 and two RS-485. One RS-232 port is used ...
