Well, summer has been and gone; and for most of us it was a time to relax and reflect on our working practices. What can we do to achieve better results? And what can we do to break out of the routine ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. For market growth to occur at desired levels, suppliers must meet consumer demand for compact electronic devices that integrate multiple functions. To ...

Programmable-logic devices provide a popular method of implementing complex functions in digital designs. Although manufacturers don't yet offer analog circuits whose complexity compares to VLSI ...

It has been a long time since plain vanilla programmable logic circuits known as field programmable gate arrays have been available in a raw form. For many years, Xilinx, Altera, and others making ...

Since 1972, scientists have known there are four basic circuit components, but if you’ve spent any time in an electrical engineering classroom, you probably only have experience with three: capacitor, ...

Complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) contain the building blocks for hundreds of 7400-serries logic ICs. Complete circuits can be designed on a PC and then uploaded to a CPLD for instant ...

A new way to make complete and programmable logic circuits that combine both memory and logical processing in a single structure has been unveiled by physicists in Germany. Such structures could lead ...

The decision to migrate from PLDs and FPGAs to lower cost ASICs seems easy at first glance but may be more complicated than you think. Do a little research and analysis before you proceed, and ...

The IEEE engineering milestone for the FPGA recognized this device for enabling more rapid economical chip design and modern electronic applications.

Living cells make decisions based on information processing genetic programmes. Many of these programmes execute digital functions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. The capability to build synthetic digital systems in ...
