Design techniques for FPGA power optimization
A variety of factors – from the micro to the macro, from conserving battery life to lessening global warming – has pushed power conservation rapidly up the list of system designers’ concerns. Engineers have ranked power consumption first in recent surveys on key design priorities or as a close second next to performance, density, and cost.

Developers throttle the bottleneck to grab maximum I/O bandwidth using FMCs
Recent months have seen momentum growing in the defense and aerospace market for the new FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) standard. FMC (ANSI/VITA 57) modules support the multi-GHz signal acquisition rates required to fully exploit the processing performance and I/O bandwidth delivered by the newest generation of FPGA devices used in demanding military applications such as Electronic Counter Measures (ECM), where high-bandwidth data input,...

FMC modules deliver high-speed I/O from ADCs to FPGAs
Some MCs in the entertainment world do better than others at communicating with many different kinds of audiences. Now it turns out that “MCs” in the reconfigurable embedded computing world are not all equal either, as Mark points out here, comparing PMCs XMCs, and FMCs with regard to handling I/O interfaces, power, cooling, noise isolation, and other issues.

FPGA enhances digital photo album functionality
In an example using an FPGA development kit to try out innovative designs, a student team explores the possibilities for going beyond the basic digital picture frame. As we continually capture snapshots of life in pixels, we are amassing an array of software tools and devices to view, edit, store, personalize, and share our digital photographs. A single, easy-to-use system that could reliably provide all of these functions would simplify...
