4-in-4-out ADC/DAC FMC sports LVDS interfaces
Logic-X has launched the industry’s first 4-in-4-out analog-to-digital (and vice versa) conversion FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) with low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interfaces. Called the LXD31K4, it is ideal for edge processing, high-speed data acquisition, and playback, software-defined radio (SDR), and other applications requiring wide bandwidth conversion between analog and digital domains. The card can be […]
Software cuts ASIC modelling time from months to days
It is important to model an SoC well in advance to avoid costly over-design or insufficient performance and to create a hardware emulation on which representative end-user applications can be run. Detailed architectural modelling provides reasonable estimates of the performance, power, memory resources, and the NoC (Network on Chip) configuration that will be required along […]
Kits assists developers in evaluating potential of Bluetooth direction finding and high-precision indoor positioning
u-blox has announced the release of two “explorer kits” aimed at letting product developers evaluate the potential of Bluetooth direction finding and high precision indoor positioning.
