Source: Semiconductor Industry Alliance Currently, there are two types of civilizations in the world: one is the carbon-based civilization formed by human society, and the other is the silicon-based civilization composed of various chips—because almost all chips are made from single crystal silicon, the total number of chip systems far exceeds the number of humans … Read more
The billion-dollar data center market is divided among Altera, Xilinx, and otherFPGAs suppliers. After Intel acquired Altera in June 2015, this market became even more complex. Before the acquisition in 2014, Altera’s revenue of $1.9 billion had 16% from data center-related computing, networking, and storage businesses, totaling $304 million. Those communication and wireless equipment system … Read more
FPGA has various configuration modes: the parallel master mode involves one FPGA and one EPROM; the master-slave mode supports programming multiple FPGAs with one PROM; the serial mode can use serial PROM to program the FPGA; and the peripheral mode allows the FPGA to be programmed by a microprocessor as a peripheral device. How to … Read more

The third installment of the basic knowledge of FPGA internal resources is here! Today we will discuss the FPGA clock processing unit module. The clock is the soul of logic, so the clock signal is very important, take note!!Look me~ 1. PLL PLL, the full English name is Phase Locked Loop, which translates to Chinese … Read more
Source: Content from the public account ZYNQ, thank you! Both CPUs and GPUs belong to the von Neumann architecture, which involves instruction decoding and execution with shared memory. The reason FPGAs are faster than CPUs and GPUs is fundamentally due to their architecture, which lacks instructions and shared memory. In the von Neumann structure, since … Read more
FPGA has become a strategic technology, regarded as the “poor man’s ASIC”, capable of providing customized ICs for a limited number of applications. At the same time, it has gained strategic importance in the following two large and high-growth applications: Cloud Data Centers: Networking, storage, and security; Communication Systems: Base stations and 5G, etc. In … Read more
