At first sight, it looks like it won’t do anything much: it grounds the base of the transistor in both positions, so why is it even there? The answer is a subtle: for an instant while the switch is between positions, that connection to ground is broken, which allows the transistor t...
My experience with Libero has been incomplete support of silicon. It is where a feature is supposed to be in the program but Microsemi says it is on our backlog. Then there is the weird split between Libero and its 3rd party synthesis tool "Synplify" and debug tool "Identify". They both...
Ironically, or perhaps it's just good engineering, the issue now seems to be 'how do I fulfil the function performed by a cpld', rather than 'which cpld do I need to do this.'Philip LingNew Electronics
In the design the synthesize-able part is everything from the AXI4 Interconnect down to the AHB-L Slave. In the testbench, the prime component is then a AXI4 full Master that can read/write data from/to the FIFO either in bursts or through single ...

is to let the logic gates within the PLD to be associated mutually to execute logic circuits. PLDs are classified into different types such as SPLD-simple PLD (PLA & PAL),CPLD-complex PLD,FPGAs-field programmable gate arrays. This article discusses what is a PAL and PLA, design and their...
Consumer Electronics FPGAs offer affordable solutions, which in turn enable next-gen consumer applications that include: Converged handsets Residential set-top boxes Home networking Information appliances Digitalflat panels Data Center FPGAs are designed for low latency, high-bandwidth servers, storage, an...
SRAM programming is dominant due to its combination of reconfigurability and density. Antifuse, Flash and CPLD serve niche lower density roles. Security features help protect FPGA IP designs. Major Applications of FPGAs The flexibility and performance of FPGAs make them very attractive for many adv...
Xilinx is an integrated software design environment that allows users to create Xilinx FPGA and CPLD controllers from start to finish. Its JTAG programmer options file uses PRO filename extension. This file format is classified as Developer. Related links: XlinxPRO...
My main concern with making an entire computer of this complexity out of jellybean parts is the cost. Not just components, but the sheer size of it to fit all the glue logic in would mean the PCB would be quite large. Using a CPLD (I’m an Altera MAX series fan, but flexible I gu...
