Digital systems are highly complex. At their most detailed level, they may consist of millions of elements, as would be the case if we viewed a system as a collection of logic gates or pass ...

Over the last year we’ve had several posts about the Lattice Semiconductor iCEstick which is shown below. The board looks like an overgrown USB stick with no case, but it is really an FPGA development ...

The following tutorial, by Stuart Sutherland of Sutherland HDL, is an updated version of a paper presented at HDLCon in March 2000. It provides an overview of the changes in the Verilog-2001 standard.

FPGAs aren’t really programmed, they are configured. Most designers use Verilog or VHDL to describe the desired circuit configuration. Developers typically simulate these configurations before ...
