The trend toward more efficient, smaller, and quieter motors for white goods and other cost-sensitive, feature-rich applications is increasingly putting the design spotlight on a hybrid processor ...

To implement algorithms, digital-signal-processing (DSP) developers have had to rely upon design flows that use manual approaches. Aside from being time consuming, the manual process can invite errors ...

Using a design flow put together by Mentor Graphics and Altera, designers can implement complex DSP algorithms in high-performance FPGAs directly from ANSI C++ code. The flow, which is based on Altera ...

In the past, when developers thought of embedded networking applications, they envisioned a multi-chip solution consisting of a Network/Host microcontroller (MCU) and a “MIPS”-intensive digital signal ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

You probably have at least a nodding familiarity with the Fourier transform, a mathematical process for transforming a time-domain signal into a frequency domain signal. In particular, for computers, ...
