Processor Local Bus (PLB) General processor local bus Synchronous, nonmultiplexed bus Separate Read, Write data buses Supports concurrent Read, Writes Multimaster, programmable-priority, arbitrated ...

Silicon densities, both for ASICs and FPGAs, can now support true systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). This level of design requires busing systems to connect various components ...

Although the ability to expand a home computer with more RAM, storage and other features has been around for as long as home computers exist, it wasn’t until the IBM PC that the concept of a fully ...

Microcontrollers, in many ways, are the indispensable engines of our world. With hundreds of billions of them in use, MCUs play a variety of different but equally important roles in almost every ...

Many FPGA designs use an embedded processor for control. A typical solution involves the use of a soft processor such as a Nios, though FPGA SoCs with a built-in hard processor have become popular too ...
