Microcontroller design tools and implementation The best way to begin the design is to use a reference such as a “Quick Start Guide” or project wizard as a step-by-step aid in setting up an FPGA ...

Microcontrollers and FPGAs often work together in embedded systems. As more functions move into the FPGA, however, debugging the interface between the two devices becomes more difficult. The ...

A microcontroller can’t do this parallelism. Lastly, a microcontroller burns active power in its wait states; it always needs to run code while waiting for an interrupt. An FPGA, on the other hand, ...

The FPGA fits into a broader class of integrated circuits commonly used in embedded systems, such as the ASIC and the microcontroller. All three have seen significant improvements in recent years, ...

On the other hand, microcontroller- or microprocessor-based designs might benefit from the flexibility and power provided by an FPGA-based solution, especially single-chip solutions.

FPGAs are well-suited for many microcontroller applications because they are relatively inexpensive, include a wide range of embedded memory blocks, have adequate I/Os for nearly any controller ...

Rated at 30 MIPS at a frequency of 40 MHz, the Field Programmable System Level Integration Circuit (FPSLIC) combines an 8-bit microcontroller with over 50 kgates of FPGA or PLD programmable logic ...

If you’re serious about video work, however, you’ll want something more capable. For those use cases, [purisame]’s got what you need – an open source HDMI implementation for FPGAs.

Microchip’s revenue will grow significantly in the long term driven by its FPGA and microcontroller solutions. The company is rapidly paying off its debt, which is driving the demand for its ...
