System architects generally turn to application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) when designing ICs for high-volume, high-performance applications. Yet the development of such ASICs calls for ...

Next-gen comms platforms are shifting from FPGAs to ASIC-based architectures. How does custom silicon deliver major gains in ...

The following article was contributed by Crista Souza, senior editor of Electronics Supply & Manufacturing, a monthly print magazine published by CMP Media. CMP Media also publishes Silicon Strategies ...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) thrive in rapidly evolving new markets before being replaced by hard-wired ASICs, but in automotive that crossover is likely to happen significantly later than ...

This paper will explain how new ASSP ventures face challenges that can derail success of a product even before the first device is sold, including market entry barriers such as time to market ...

Electronic News sat down with Jeff Jussel, VP of marketing at Celoxica; Babek Hedayati, senior director of product solutions marketing at Xilinx; and Aiden Kelly, manager of ASIC methodology at IBM ...

I'm fast approaching the one year mark with my current employer since I graduated last year. Previously, I did three four month work terms with them and they were for the most part interesting. I took ...

FPGAs are blinged-out rockstars compared to their former selves. No longer just a collection of look-up tables (LUTs) and registers, FPGAs have moved well beyond into now being architectures for ...

When Intel acquired FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip designer Altera last year, the company set in motion a plan to further leverage the configurable logic technology in its primary cash cow ...
