The growth of system-on-modules (SOMs) in embedded computing presents a paradigm shift in embedded design. Legacy electronics systems typically leveraged discrete chip-down designs. The circuit designer was responsible for the selecting, designing and routing of the CPU, Memory, I/O, power and analog circuitry within their application. EEs continuously met the technical challenges presented before them. As Moore's Law moves along, system-level electronic design using the discrete … [Read more...]

How Total Solar Eclipses and FPGAs Align – SYZYGY
"Eclipse fever" gripped most of the United States this past Monday. Vast swathes of the country from the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast were mesmerized by a once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse. All walks of life stopped to watch the celestial phenomena. Viewing parties were held in cities and national parks. Astronomers had their fifteen seconds of fame. The general public learned new terms like "totality" and "syzygy". SYZYGY - A New FPGA Expansion Specification No doubt … [Read more...]
Flyover Enables High Speed, Simplifies PCB Design
Bob Hult, our friend at Bishop and Associates and Connector Supplier, recently published High Speed Signals Take The High Road on the Connector Supplier website. Among other things, the article discusses the challenges of high-speed signals in printed circuit boards. As always, Bob's article is well-researched and worth the read. But if you only have time for the Cliff's Notes, I'll try to summarize it here. Quick Summary Bob begins by pointing out that "as data rates pushed … [Read more...]
