Today’s systems-on-chips integrate large numbers and varieties of intellectual property (IP) that come from multiple sources. Some are developed internally. Others come from one or more external suppliers. The integration of the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) chains of these varied IP and their related controllability has proven to be a challenge that chip designers have either just accepted or

Dialog Semiconductor plc introduced its iW3640 solid state lighting (SSL) LED driver, designed to bring mood-enhancing ambiance to price-sensitive SSL bulbs. The iW3640 2-channel, 25W SSL LED driver offers a simple, low-cost, dimmable colour-mixing solution to achieve warm incandescent-like dimming while eliminating the need for a microcontroller and dedicated power supply. This reduces the bill of materials (BOM) cost for

“Typically with competing solutions, designers use the partitioning tools that are offered by the FPGA vendors, but these tools are only good for designs that fit into one FPGA. So designers have to rewrite their RTL to map it across multiple FPGAs, they must also remodel their memory, and it can take them up to three months to bring up
