Digital Signal Processing: A Practical Guide (Part 5) - Radar
This book is intended for those who work in or provide components for industries that use digital signal processing (DSP).
FPGA synthesis can be a leverage point in your design flow
Large FPGA devices pose significant challenges to an FPGA project team, requiring sound design flow practices. FPGA synthesis can provide significant leverage in achieving project cost, time and quality goals. This article discusses how FPGA synthesis tools can help designers achieve their goals efficiently and effectively.
Multicores can transform IP-based wired/wireless networking, Part 2
Here's additional info on how to overcome typical design complexities in multicore networking.
Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA User Guide Lite
This paper gives potential users an easy-to-grasp idea of the device functions of Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGAs. It describes the functionality of these devices in far more detail than in the data sheet--but avoids the minute implementation details covered in the various Virtex-6 FPGA user guides.
A real-time HPC approach for optimizing Intel multi-core architectures (Part 3 of 3)
In this three part series, Dr. Algosa Vrancic and Jeff Meisel presents findings that demonstrate how a novel approach is allowing for real-time high-performance computing (HPC) in order to solve engineering problems with multi-core processors that were not possible only five years ago. Part 3 considers industry examples that employ this particular methodology.
Rapid debug of serial buses in FPGAs
Low-speed serial buses remain prevalent in computer, semiconductor, aero/defense, communications, consumer automotive, medical, test and measurement industries. Serial buses such as I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, and RS-232 are often key points for debugging designs with FPGAs which higher speed serial buses quickly pass data from chip to chip. Historically, capturing and decoding the information required significant manual effort if using an oscilloscope or the purchase of custom tools. Oscilloscope vendors now incorporate significant application technology that simplifies debug of low-speed serial buses.
The ConnX Baseband Engine and its application in LTE
The ConnX Baseband Engine from Tensilica addresses the baseband demands of 3G and 4G networks. This feature details the architecture and its capabilities and how to apply it for LTE with MIMO.
Bridging the voltage gap with FPGAs
FPGAs have become sensitive to power-design considerations in supporting multiple voltage options for I/O banks. This paper examines how some low-power FPGAs leverage the VCCI of each I/O bank to determine the voltage level of its I/Os, ranging from 1.2 V up to 3.3 V.
