Capturing a UART Design in MyHDL & Testing It in an FPGA

The universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) is an old friend to embedded systems engineers. It's probably the first communications protocol that we learn in college. In this article, we will design our very own UART using MyHDL.

Integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) on Arty-Z7

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is moving from theory to engineering reality. With NIST-standardized algorithms ML-KEM (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA (FIPS 204) now finalized, FPGA developers face a practical challenge: How to integrate these algorithms efficiently on resource-constrained hardware?

How to design secure SoCs, Part V: Data Protection and Encryption

In today’s connected world, where data is a crucial asset in SoCs, Part V of our series explores how to protect and encrypt data, whether at rest, in transit, or in use building on our earlier blog posts of the series: Essential security features for digital designers, key management, secure boot, and runtime integrity.

Not all overvoltage tolerant GPIOs are the same

Most foundries provide GPIO libraries to their fabless customers. These libraries contain different elements like supply/ground pads, analog I/Os, digital I/Os, corner cells, filler cells, power-on-reset circuits. Frequently the foundry includes cells for different voltage domains. In 40nm CMOS the IC designer can use cells for 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V for instance.
