The definition of a programmable system on a chip (SoC) varies depending on its use. One definition is an FPGA that is so large and contains so many logic gates that it takes the place of an entire ...

In Part 1 of this four-part series on high-density programmable logic design, we focused on partitioning the overall design and getting prepared for design entry. Using Xilinx High-Level Floorplanner ...

This course covers the fundamentals of Online logic and an introduction to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in a complex mechatronic system with a focus on the Siemens automation controller and ...

That EPROMs, EEPROMs and kin can be used as programmable logic should probably not come as a major surprise, but [Jimmy] has created a Lisp-based project that makes using these chips as a logic ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) run the automation systems that operate many assembly lines and conveyors in distribution centers. With the introduction of RFID, it’s critical to link tag data ...

which captures the idea of using programmable logic as a medium with which designers can create custom hardware — including microcontrollers. The elements required to create viable custom ...

In those days, programmable devices consisted of PALs (programmable array logic devices) and CPLDs (complex programmable logic devices), which were essentially small sets of AND-OR planes with ...

Programmable logic at lower cost and lower power will drive expansion into new markets, Chris Fanning, CEO at Lattice Semiconductor, tells Electronics Weekly. “As the cost and power of FPGAs and PLDs ...
