Unveiling HIL Simulation Platforms! How FPGA High-Speed Signal Acquisition Makes Testing Smarter?

Unveiling HIL Simulation Platforms! How FPGA High-Speed Signal Acquisition Makes Testing Smarter?

In modern electronic and control system development, “testing” is often more complex than the development itself. Especially in high-speed systems such as automotive electronics, drones, and robotics, debugging directly on real hardware carries high risks and costs. Thus, HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) simulation platforms have emerged. Today, we will take you deep into understanding HIL platforms and … Read more

FPGA Basics: How to Determine the Size of the Ping-Pong Buffer Pool

FPGA Basics: How to Determine the Size of the Ping-Pong Buffer Pool

Introduction We have previously discussed the essence of ping-pong operations, but when it comes to practical implementation in engineering, an unavoidable question arises: How should the buffer size be determined? Buffer design may seem like just “storing more data,” but if it is too small, it may lead to packet loss due to mismatched upstream … Read more

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of FPGA and ASIC Implementations for TDC

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of FPGA and ASIC Implementations for TDC

Choosing the implementation platform for TDC—whether to use a flexible Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or a custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)—is one of the most critical strategic decisions in product development. This decision is far from being as simple as “FPGA for prototyping, ASIC for mass production”; it involves a complex trade-off across multiple dimensions … Read more
