Breakthrough light-powered chip speeds up AI training and reduces energy consumption. Engineers at Penn have developed the ...

Exotic nuclei near and beyond the proton drip line exhibit a range of unique decay processes, including β-delayed proton ...

Intel’s financial woes with its semiconductor division made Altera, a company that builds programmable chips, one of the “lucrative” assets to sell. To strengthen its balance sheet and cut losses, ...

Intel has entered a deal to offload 51% of its stake in Altera, a specialised chipmaker focusing on programmable logic devices, to Silver Lake investment firm. Before it was owned by Intel, Altera and ...

The companies announced the deal today. The transaction values Altera at $8.75 billion, just under half what Intel paid to acquire the company in 2015. Silver Lake, a private equity firm known for ...

Loop Capital initiated coverage ofLattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:LSCC) with a Buy rating and an $85 price target, citing the company’s potential for significant market share gains in the ...

Portions of an ARM button array (non-parametric) for a DRONE BLASTR airborne drone. ARM technology, co-invented by Fractel CEO Nathan Cohen, is backed by U.S. patents and licensed to Fractal. The ...

Blurring that line slightly is gate array logic (GAL). These devices were a preceursor to the FPGA, with a much simpler structure, and usually in those days UV-erasable in the same manner as an EPROM.

FPGA Firmware Development Since the FPGA is a programmable logic array, the logic must be configured to match the system's needs. Firmware, which is a collection of data, provides the configuration.

The paper describes how, with a SOPC (System on a Programmable Chip) architecture embedded with a 32-Bit NIOS-II, a Layer 2 Ethernet switch can be implemented in a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array ...
