Integration. Integration. Integration. More and more SoCs from the leading semiconductor manufacturers have just about everything but the kitchen sink in their devices. Some of these options include MCU cores, programmable logic, wired and wireless connectivity, memory controllers and high-performance serial communication interfaces. While Xilinx and Altera continue to dominate the SoC/FPGA market, MicroSemi continues to launch innovative, niche solutions. The … [Read more...]
Bulls Eye® Test Point Solutions Ease Transceiver Characterization
Semiconductor manufacturers are always looking for the best interconnect solution to characterize the high-speed transceivers found on their FPGAs, ASICs and ASSPs. Typically, PCB-mount SMA connectors have been used to breakout the differential transmit and receive signals found in modern transceivers. Below is a Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA SP623 Characterization Kit which features a number of PCB-mount SMA connectors. This approach worked for decades. Transceiver counts per IC … [Read more...]
