It is clear that FPGAs are great for prototyping and low-volume production. It's also clear, however, that any relatively complex mid- to high-volume design for which power consumption, component cost ...

Don’t panic, I'm still at the Multicore Expo 2006. In fact, I'm currently listening to a very interesting presentation by picoChip (www.picochip.com. These little scamps have a chip called a picoArray ...

SDVoE Alliance President, Justin Kennington shares his perspective on how FPGA versus ASIC chips impacts the product supply chain in the AV industry. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Digital systems need clocks. Today’s designs require more from clocking schemes than ever before, and it’s likely this trend will continue. Increasing power constraints have resulted in finer-grained ...

Once the prototyping and beta testing is done and a system goes into production, designers often will wonder: "With the higher per-chip cost of an FPGA, why not replace the FPGA with an ASIC?" But the ...

Although it lacks the reprogrammability of an FPGA, this structured ASIC promises to deliver 350 MHz of system performance, densities of up to 2.2 million ASIC gates, and 8.8 Mb of memory. System ...

Until a few years ago, SoC designers focused almost exclusively on ASICs. While it was theoretically possible to create an SoC design for an FPGA, the programmable chips were too bulky and pricey to ...

COPENHAGEN, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BitHull S.A. ( www.BitHull.com) is pleased to announce the launch of its two new crypto miners BH Miner and BH Miners Box. These miners have been built around ...

San Jose, Calif. - More than a few chip companies have tried their hand at embedding blocks of FPGA logic into otherwise-hardwired ASIC devices. Startup M2000 says it wants to be the first to make a ...

Ernie Smith is a former contributor to BizTech, an old-school blogger who specializes in side projects, and a tech history nut who researches vintage operating systems for fun. When it comes to major ...
