All the Signal Integrity You Can Shake A Stick At
Fish Fry Takes On DesignCon
Eye diagrams, Bert Scopes and more SerDes than anyone knows what to do with...what could it be? DesignCon of course. In this week’s Fish Fry, I look into to why DesignCon was so popular this year and why signal integrity issues were the un-offcial theme of the show. I also interview Brad Griffin of Cadence about why we need power distribution analysis and why he thinks DesignCon is the best show of the year.
I also have another MAX V CPLD Development Kit courtesy of Altera to give away this week, but you’ll have to listen to the end of the broadcast to find out how to win. Read More

Steve Trimberger becomes ACM Fellow
posted by Kevin Morris
On Saturday, June 4, Steve Trimberger will be inducted as an ACM Fellow. This prestigious achievement is a significant milestone for all of us that believe that programmable logic technology is one of the most significant developments of the past half century. Steve isn't resting on his laurels and he isn't just fine-tuning Xilinx FPGAs, though. We had a chat with him about the honor, his past, and his plans for the future, including a couple of interesting side trips. (3-Jun)
Why Aren't Virtual Conferences Cool?
posted by Kevin Morris
Have you tried attending a virtual conference? I have - several, in fact. In this blog post I give a full review of the concept - along with my modest proposal for fixing what's obviously wrong with the medium. What do you think? (17-May)

The Importance of Being Modular
Fair enough. For what it's worth, there was an open invitation to multiple FPGA companies including some active recruitment efforts.

I would really like this kit and as this is the fun week I would like to use it to make a fully synchronous PinBall machine with a cycle accurate switching of multiple pins at the same time. Also to increase my luck I did send you a invitatio...
The Importance of Being Modular
I appreciate the amount of effort required to get something adopted as a real, live open standard, and I agree that Xilinx was successful in getting FMC to be one.
However, from my perspective, the industry missed an opportunity for both of th...

Great article!
Since you expressed some skepticism, I want to clarify that FMC is indeed an open industry-standard interface. It was developed under the auspices of VITA by a variety of companies, including Xilinx, and is an approved ANSI st...
