Configurable analog ICs have been available in various forms for years, seemingly making less of an impression on the market than their digital cousins, FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays). The ...

Semiconductor company Xilinx is taking the wraps off of its software programmable chip design that it claims is part of an entirely new computing category. It's called the Adaptive Compute ...

Intel Corp. today announced plans to spin out its programmable chip unit as a standalone business, and will treat it as a separate entity going forward. Ultimately, the chip giant aims to hold an ...

Configurable logic blocks (CLBs) house the logic for the FPGA. Typically, these CLBs contain enough logic to create a small state machine. A CLB normally contains RAM to create arbitrary combinatorial ...

Efinix is trying to make these chips small and efficient enough for factory sensors and smartphones, which usually defer machine learning tasks to the cloud. The goal is to make these chips small and ...

Nine months ago, Intel made Altera -- its unit that produces programmable chips -- a standalone business -- with the intention of spinning it public in 2026. On Monday, Altera executives showed off ...

The advent of big data era raising significant challenges in information processing, especially in the aspect of capacity and power consumption. Situations become even worse when we consider the fact ...

Programmable logic is going mainstream. Programmability, or rather configurability, will no longer be confined to glue logic, datapath chips, or special processing functions. Instead, programmable ...
