Long Live the King – eFPGAs Reign Supreme

Flex Logix and Achronix Bring Embedded FPGAs into the Spotlight
by Amelia Dalton

In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we’re getting out the LUTS and elevating our embedded IP with a two-part interview episode all about eFPGAs. Geoff Tate (CEO – Flex Logix) and I discuss the difference between embedded FPGAs and traditional FPGAs, the value of an embedded FPGA platform in your next design, and what the eFPGA landscape looks like going forward. In the second part of this week’s Fish Fry, I chat with Robert Blake (CEO – Achronix) about their foray into the world of embedded FPGAs.

Architecture All Access: Modern FPGA Architecture

Sponsored by Intel

In this 20-minute video, Intel Fellow Prakash Iyer takes you on a journey within the architecture of an FPGA, starting with simple logic gates and then moving up through architecture, design, and applications. Along the way, he answers many questions you might have about FPGAs, even if you’ve worked with FPGAs for years.

How to Fast-Charge Your Supercapacitor

Sponsored by Analog Devices

Supercapacitors (or ultracapacitors) are suited for short charge and discharge cycles. They require high currents for fast charge as well as a high voltage with a high number in series as shown in two usage cases: an automatic pallet shuttle and a fail-safe backup system. In these and many other cases, the fast charge is provided by a flexible, high-efficiency, high-voltage, and high-current charger based on a synchronous, step-down, supercapacitor charger controller.

i.MX RT1170

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and NXP Semiconductors

Dual Core microcontrollers can bring a lot of benefits to today’s modern embedded designs in order to keep all of our design requirements in balance. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Patrick Kennedy from NXP about why newer design requirements for today’s connected embedded systems are making this balancing act even harder than ever before and how the i.MX RT1170 can help solve these problems with its heterogeneous dual cores, MIPI interface, multi-core low power strategy and SRAM PUF technology can make all the difference in your next embedded design.
