FPGA made Easy

  Importance of the FPGA in the field of Artificial Intelligence: A Point of View Join our team and grow together!! Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been around for a few decades now. These devices have an array of logic blocks and a way to program the blocks and the relationships among them. An FPGA is a generic tool that can be customized for multiple uses. In contrast to classic chips, FPGAs can be reconfigured multiple times for different purposes. To specify the configuration of an FPGA, developers use hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog and VHDL . Modern FPGAs work pretty similarly to application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs): when re-programmed properly, FPGAs can match the requirements of a particular application just as a regular ASIC. And when it comes to data processing acceleration, FPGAs can outperform graphics processing units (GPUs). There is a wide range of FPGA applications. You can configure an FPGA with thousands of memory uni...

  Is FPGA Field Saturated? A Point of View Join our team and grow together!! FPGA stands for field - programmable gate array. FPGA is an integrated circuit  that  can be programmed by the designer to implement any simple logic function or complex processor on it. Due to its enormous features such as reconfiguration, partial reconfiguration, parallelism, low cost, low turnaround time, it becomes the key component of various fields of embedded, commercial and safety - critical applications. Steve Casselman proposed the concept of FPGA in the early 1980s. An experiment was created to develop a computing device with 600,000 programmable gates. There are three configuration technologies in which FPGAs are programmed or configured. Static RAM-based configuration technique Flash-based configuration technique Anti-fused based configuration techniques FPGA architecture consists of three building blocks such as programmable logic blocks, interconnections and I/O blocks. FPGA is pro...

  Functional Safety and Its Importance: A Point of View Join our team and grow together!! Functional safety is part of the overall safety of the system (machine or car) and individual components used in the system which is also expected to perform the function they were designed for. According to the Industrial Functional Safety Standard i.e. International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 61508), it is defined as “Functional Safety is the part of the overall safety relating to the EUC (Equipment Under Control) and the EUC control system which depends on the correct functioning of the E/E/PE (electrical/electronic and programmable electronic) safety-related systems, other technology safety-related systems and external risk reduction facilities”. Functional safety has always existed. However, with more human-machine interactions and the implementation of autonomous technology into the machinery on our factory floors and cars, it has converted into a specialized technical field and ...

  Evolution of Various Fields from Electronics: A Point of View Join our team and grow together!! Electronics has been one of the fastest-growing engineering fields in the last couple of decades. If we look around, we see electronics in many forms such as a laptop, mobile, automatic vehicles, MP3 players, remote-controlled devices etc. Electronics is nearly involved in every field of engineering, science and technology. This was made possible when electronic engineers first invented an electronic component from semiconductor materials, i.e., Transistor. The invention of the transistor truly reshaped the field of electronics. The size of the first transistor was in the order of a few millimetres. From a manufacturing point of view, a new field is born in electronics which is later called microelectronics, nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. In these fields, electronic engineers work on the processes which are helping to implement smaller and smaller transistor every day. Nowadays, ...
