Altera Corporation changed the game as it relates to floating-point DSP performance in an FPGA. Altera is the first programmable logic company to integrate hardened IEEE 754-compliant, floating-point ...

The dual-channel, 12bit, 170Msample/s ADC version is called SD1146. “The device uses a multistage pipeline architecture to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio and linearity, over wide input signal ...

Two fundamental trends driving the electronic infrastructure business are the need for higher data (and increasingly mobile) bandwidth and the need for higher resolution video. While somewhat distinct ...

How advanced IC designs are replacing board-level systems. How an eFPGA can empower a system’s design. Designers continue to face greater challenges in the development of advanced embedded systems.

Cofer and Harding discuss how to implement DSP functionality, covering when FPGAs are a good fit for DSP algorithm implementation and important design decisions and considerations. Each of these ...

Harnessing The Power Of DSPs Before semiconductor building blocks or single-chip solutions came on the scene, digital signal processing (DSP) problems, primarily in the military arena, were solved ...

Finally a Practical "Do and Don't" primer on architecting FPGA solutions for DSP design. With more do's than don’ts, the article is a down-to-basics look at how to avoid the pitfalls and realize ...

I've long been interested in the technology coming out of Achronix. They first caught my interest circa 2004/2005 with their asynchronous FPGA fabric. Eventually, this managed to reach speeds ...
