One of the most important steps in the design process is to identify how many different clocks to use and how to route them. This article tells you how to use routing resources efficiently.

In FPGA design, where timing is everything, there are tips and tricks to help designers set up clocks, correctly set timing constraints and then tune parameters of the FPGA, write Angela Sutton and ...

Even the most punctual among us are content to synchronize their clocks to external time sources like navigation satellite constellations, network time servers, frequency-controlled AC mains, or ...

It used to be that designing hardware required schematics and designing software required code. Sure, a lot of people could jump back and forth, but it was clearly a different discipline. Today, a lot ...

Californian start-up Achronix has revealed details of its 1.5GHz asynchronous FPGA, which includes 10.3Gbit/s serialiser/deserialisers (serdes). “We get our speed from the underlying silicon ...

Flexibility is key to FPGA success, but speed is equally important. Achronix almost triples the throughput of the system by taking clock gating to the extreme. The Achronix Speedster FPGAs use a ...

Over a few short years, FPGA technology has advanced significantly. These devices have become extremely complex. FPGA blocks continue to maintain the phase-locked loop (PLL) technology capable of ...

Clock signals in synchronous digital systems (such as those found in telecommunications) define when and how quickly data is moved through that system. A clock distribution network, consisting of ...

Clock domain crossings are significant sources of field system failures. Despite this fact, designs continue to be released without fully verified CDCs. A false sense of security resulting from ...

A few years ago the market was rife with deep learning chip startups aiming at AI training. This, however, is the year of the inference ASIC. But with millions invested in taping out a new chip in an ...
