Digital to Analog and Back Again

This week’s Fish Fry is all about those persistent pesky power problems that plague our designs and what we can do to solve them. If you’re a digital guy or gal struggling to get into the analog game, or even if you’re an analog person trying your hand at digital design, this Fish Fry is for you. First, I interview Steve Logan (Xilinx) about how Xilinx has added analog ADCs to their recent development kits and how you can start designing with one. I also chat with Rob Chiacchia (Linear Technology) about the state of the art in digital power management.

I have yet another super cool MAX V CPLD Development Kit (courtesy of Altera) to give to one lucky winner this week, but you’ll have to listen to find out how to win.

Time to first prototype shouldn’t be so hard!
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Romain Petit from Siemens and Amelia Dalton examine the challenges of FPGA-based prototyping and how the automatic partitioning, automatic cabling, runtime and debug infrastructure and more of the Siemens VPS platform can make your next FPGA-based prototype project easier than ever before.
