Performance Trade-off Framework for High-Performance FPGA Design

Performance Trade-off Framework for High-Performance FPGA Design

“My design runs at 200MHz, isn’t that impressive?” Brother, you might be asking the wrong question. In the high-performance world of FPGAs, a high clock frequency does not necessarily equate to good system performance. You have surely encountered designs running at 200MHz that take 10ms to process a frame of image, while a carefully designed … Read more

USB 3.0 is Fast, Yet Causes Wi-Fi Disconnections and Device Failures! The Truth Behind the Reluctance to Phase Out USB 2.0

USB 3.0 is Fast, Yet Causes Wi-Fi Disconnections and Device Failures! The Truth Behind the Reluctance to Phase Out USB 2.0

When USB 3.0 was launched in 2008, it promised speeds up to 10 times that of USB 2.0. While the theoretical data is indeed accurate, faster does not always mean better. The leap from 480Mbps to 5Gbps introduced new signaling mechanisms, new power rules, and new electrical characteristics, which were not issues that the original … Read more
