FPGA Horizons London- October 6th and 7th 2026 - get Tickets here. The $99 Artix UltraScale+ Explorer Board - learn more here This week I have been helping a couple of clients with FPGA projects that were not going quite as hoped. While I am not going to explain the exact issues they faced, it did remind me of a few different elements of FPGA design and their importance. Lesson 1: Do not leave FPGA inputs floating The first project was a custom-designed board that was not fun

One of the most talked-about areas in recent engineering workflows is the use of AI to generate code. I’ve explored this in the past , comparing Claude, Grok, and ChatGPT by asking them to create something simple such as a blinking LED. But as the models have matured, I wanted to revisit the topic and look at what has improved, especially now that agentic AI workflows are becoming practical. If you're unfamiliar with agentic AI, the key difference is that instead of only gene

One of the great things about FPGAs is not only the configurable logic blocks, BRAMs, DSPs and a host of other useful peripherals but...

Every digital / FPGA designer should be aware of clock domain crossing between asynchronous clock domains. As our devices get more and...
