She also disclosed just a little more information about the upcoming Agilex 3 FPGA family, slated to become Altera’s low-end offering in the growing Agilex FPGA family of families. In her keynote presentation, Rivera said that the Agilex 3 FPGA family would include devices with 25 … Read More → "Altera unveils slightly more detail about the Agilex 3 FPGA family a year after announcing it"

Unobtainium is where you find it: What happens when you can’t source an old IC?

If you’ve designed electronic systems for a while, or if you’ve repaired vintage electronic equipment, no doubt you’ve run into the fascinating term “unobtainium.” Here’s Wikipedia’s definition of the term:

“Unobtainium originally referred to materials that do not exist at all, but can also be used to describe real materials that are unavailable due to extreme rarity or … Read More → "Unobtainium is where you find it: What happens when you can’t source an old IC?"

Adiuvo Engineering’s Leonidas Spartan 7 Tile makes it easy for you to drop an FPGA into your design

By the time you read this article, you should be able to get Adiuvo Engineering’s new Leonidas Spartan 7 Tile. It went on sale for pre-order in August for £150.00. Unlike FPGA development boards, Adiuvo’s Leonidas Spartan 7 Tile is designed to be used as a component in a larger design. The 59x59mm … Read More → "Adiuvo Engineering’s Leonidas Spartan 7 Tile makes it easy for you to drop an FPGA into your design"

Eeek! GenAI-Powered Design and Verification EDA Tools

I just got off a video conference call with a company I cannot name that’s developed a technology I cannot discuss to power a product I am forbidden to talk about at this time. But I fear I’ve said too much. Suffice it to say that this product is going to enable a new generation of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) platforms in … Read More → "Eeek!
