Distinguishing Concepts: Can FPGA’s High Speed Replace CPU?

Word count: 2466, reading time approximately 13 minutes CPU and FPGA 1. Core Differences 1.1CPU (Central Processing Unit): General-purpose Instruction-driven Processor • Architecture: Based on a fixed instruction set architecture (such as x86, ARM, RISC-V). It has a fixed hardware structure (Arithmetic Logic Unit ALU, register file, control unit, cache, etc.). • Operation: Sequentially executes … Read more

The Eight Pin Modes of STM32

GPIO This article is based on the HAL library The Eight States of GPIO Output Input Push-Pull Floating Multiplexed Push-Pull Pull-Up Open-Drain Pull-Down Multiplexed Open-Drain Analog Note: STM32 pins are 3.3V tolerant (3.6V is the limit), 5V tolerant (5.5V is the limit). Exceeding the pin tolerance will damage the chip. Output Both push-pull and open-drain … Read more

Why Robotic Vacuums Are Inferior to Traditional Vacuum Cleaners

Recently, while cleaning the laboratory, I found that using an industrial vacuum cleaner was quite convenient. It has strong suction, a large capacity, and most importantly, it is very efficient; it cleaned up in no time and was not tiring at all. I thought I could use this type of vacuum cleaner at home, so … Read more

Is Your Circuit Board ‘Talking’? Decoding Hidden Crises in High-Speed Signals

Introduction: The PCB expert, known as ‘Water-like Man’ (with over 20 years of industry experience and a former senior technical executive at Huawei’s R&D department), previously introduced the focus on signal integrity (SI) issues in matching circuit design. This issue mainly discusses some misunderstandings in high-speed PCB design regarding high-speed signals. Water-like Man provides suggestions … Read more

Why ARM Decided to Engage in Chip Design Services

In fact, ARM started from a very low point. When it was first established, Apple was its major shareholder. At that time, it managed to secure a deal with the leading chip manufacturer, Texas Instruments (TI), which gradually allowed it to enter the chip design field.. Although it seems that its chip shipment volume is … Read more

Episode 32 Podcast: Organoid Chips and Hydrogels – A Comprehensive Performance Overview

Su Zhe: Today, we are going to discuss a topic that sounds a bit hardcore: organoid chips. You might wonder, why do scientific experiments require so many complex testing methods to validate results? Actually, there is a particularly interesting analogy behind this. Gao Qing: Oh? What analogy? Su Zhe:It’s like introducing a blind date to … Read more
