Advances in process technology are enabling a profound increase in the number of commercial applications for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Technology breakthroughs from 10-million gate ...

The Luna 340,a 5M-gate-equivalent ASIC design, was designed in partnership with Mosaid Technologies. It is more than 22 million transistors implemented in 0.25-micron technology. The Luna 340 contains ...

So what’s a STRUCTURED ASIC? A Structured ASIC is a type of integrated circuit that contains blocks of logic, called "tiles." These tiles reside in the die ready to be connected in a customizable ...

Verification and design engineers like to talk shop and discuss their experiences and visions. But even though engineers sharing stories around the water cooler (whatever form that takes—conferences, ...

Now nothing will impede the field-programmable gate array's (FPGA) march into scores of volume applications. New architectures both lower the cost and improve functionality, enabling them to ...

Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan observed, “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” Similarly, we can get a feeling for where our industry is going by attending to the flow of thought ...
