Fast Access Controller – a plug-and-play IP solution for fast embedded Flash Programming and Memory Testing

Key features

  • Enables fast in-system FLASH programming over a serial connection as fast as stand-alone FLASH programming
    • The FAC is easily embedded into a design to enable and simplify in-system FLASH programming to accommodate firmware changes during any stage of a products life cycle.
  • Reduces the cost of FLASH programming throughout a product’s entire lifecycle:
    • The FAC is significantly more cost-effective when compared to methods that use other types of external equipment to program FLASH devices.
    • FAC has very limited impact on the design flow and does not necessitate a capital expenditure for dedicated or inline FLASH programming equipment.
  • Fast in-system programming: In-system FLASH programming using the FAC can be done in the same amount of time it takes to program a device out of system using expensive capital equipment.
  • FAC is scalable and reusable methodology: FAC is a proven plug-and-play IP solution that can be used on multiple projects (processor, SoC, ASIC or FPGA)

Optimizing flash memory selection for automotive & other uses

Over the past few years, there has been an increasing demand for NOR Flash memory for use in automotive applications. Initial uses included applications such as infotainment and engine control. However, as advancements in automotive computerization continue to progress, NOR Flash memory is seeing use in a wider range of various automotive applications.

When Memory Shortages Change Architecture Decisions

For decades, the choice between embedded and external Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) in semiconductor designs has been straightforward. External memory, such as EEPROM, NOR Flash, or NAND Flash, offered lower cost per bit and greater flexibility, making a two-die architecture the default choice across a wide range of applications. That assumption is now being challenged.

How silicon and circuit optimizations help FPGAs offer lower size, power and cost in video bridging applications

FPGAs are at home in the world of multi-gigabit-per-second signal conversion and bridging. In high-bandwidth telecoms, network and data center equipment, the FPGA is a mainstay of system designs, offering a valuable combination of high-speed SerDes capability, extensive logic resources, and programmability, giving designers the flexibility to modify features and functions without changing their board layout.

Software Architecture for DO-160 Qualification of STM32H7 based systems

Any hardware that is to be installed in an aerospace system must undergo the DO-160 qualification testing. The DO-160 qualification testing includes different environmental conditions and test procedures like temperature, humidity, vibration, waterproofness, fluid susceptibility, fungus resistance, shock and crash, RF emission, and so on.

Enabling AI Vision at the Edge

Computer vision has made tremendous advances in the last several years due to the proliferation of AI technology. The intersection of big data and massive parallel computing changed the way in which machines are programmed to understand unstructured 2D and 3D data, such as video feeds from cameras.
