July 10, 2008[Design View / Design Solution] Technology Options And Issues For FPGAs
The five mainstream FPGA vendors—Actel, Altera, Lattice Semiconductor, QuickLogic, and Xilinx—have a combined market share of approximately 98%. The remaining percentage points account for a few specialty suppliers that offer FPGA-like capabilities. All of these companies are fabless operations and rely on wafer foundries in Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, or Germany to produce their wafers. As a consequence, they only have access to the technologies...
July 10, 2008[Design View / Design Solution] Protect Your FPGA Against Piracy
Over the past two decades, the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) has transitioned from a prototyping tool to a flexible production solution in both consumer and industrial applications. With FPGA logic complexity increasing from a few thousand gates to millions of gates, the devices are able to hold more of the key functions (intellectual property) of a system. Today, designers can select FPGAs that employ various technologies to hold the configuration...
