Lattice Semiconductor has introduced higher performance versions of its Power Manager II product family. The ispPAC-POWR1014-2 and ispPAC-POWR1014A-2 devices integrate higher voltage charge pumps with ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced programmable logic devices (PLDs) that enable engineers to streamline their logic designs for any application. Credit: Texas Instruments With the ability to ...

The paper describes how, with a SOPC (System on a Programmable Chip) architecture embedded with a 32-Bit NIOS-II, a Layer 2 Ethernet switch can be implemented in a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) ...

There has been an increasing demand to add multiple Secure Digital (SD) devices in a single system. The problem, however, is that most host devices/processors, for example Intel PXA270, TI OMAP, or ...

Programmable logic has come a long way from the simple devices we started out with. Remember Programmable Array Logic, or PALs? In bipolar technology the ICC on even a small PAL was over 100mA, and ...
