Quad SPI Controller

Septembre 2016, par Etienne Laurendeau

For an FPGA-based project, replacing bulky, pin-consuming, and complex Parallel Flash Memories by modern Quad-SPI Flash devices is very exciting in many respects. It drastically reduces the FPGA pin count and thus enables smaller (and cheaper) packages. It also reduces the power consumption, (…)

NAND Flash Controller

Septembre 2016, par Etienne Laurendeau

NAND Flash memories are attractive due to their very high density and low price. However, when compared to NOR Flash Memories, they are challenging because they are not fault-free (they need ECC Correction, Bad Block management, etc …) and they are organized like disk drives, with atomic (…)

PSRAM Controller

Septembre 2016, par Etienne Laurendeau

Power consumption is more and more critical in many applications, such as battery-powered equipments, very low power applications and other fields like automotive, military, etc … Thus, choosing and using a very low power external memory such as a PSRAM (Pseudo-Static RAM) memory can be a very (…)

SRAM Controller

Septembre 2016, par Etienne Laurendeau

A.L.S.E has developed a very compact and efficient Static RAM controller that can be easily integrated in any FPGA project. Main Technical Features High-Performance Controller supporting Burst Mode for Read/Write transfers, to get optimized transfer speed and minimal switch fabric overhead. (…)

Do I need SystemVerilog ?

Septembre 2016, par Bertrand Cuzeau

We assume you are an FPGA Designer. If you’re not already fluent in SystemVerilog (SV), then you may wonder whether it’s worth the effort (to learn this huge new language). We’ll try here to provide some answers. You’ve been using VHDL for years (or just beginning), and you hear sometimes that (…)

IndEEx

Septembre 2016, par Bertrand Cuzeau

IndEEx stands for INDustrial Ethernet EXtension. We developed this little inexpensive board in just a few days for the urgent need to add two Industrial Ethernet PHYs to a DE2-115 kit (which includes already two Gigabit PHYs). This extension is compatible with many inexpensive FPGA kits like (…)

Nina

Septembre 2016, par Bertrand Cuzeau

Nina is a very simple add-on board that can be plugged into many cheap FPGA kits including the BeMicroMax10, the DE0-nano, the DE2 series etc. It provides a lot of extra peripherals and features including Ethernet and many more. Extend low-cost kits with Ethernet and many extra features ! Nina (…)

VHDL Examples

Septembre 2016, par Bertrand Cuzeau

If you are looking for well-written code to analyze, or coding examples, please check also our Free IP section where you can find the source code of many IPs, which are reasonably simple to understand while implementing all the concepts needed for designing complex functions. We have dedicated (…)
