FPGAs: Embedded Apps


Telecom puts new spin on programmable logic
The relationship between programmable logic and the communications industry reaches back to the days of PALs. But beginning with the Internet explosion of the late 1990s, that relationship took on a special meaning, and eventually a path of its own. Today, it is fair to say that neither the programmable logic business nor the communications/networking infrastructure is as it would have been had the two not been joined in common cause. And, the rest of the electronics industry stands beneficiary to these changes.


  • FPGA/DSP blend tackles telecom apps


  • FPGA-based FFT engine handles four times more input data
  • OC-48 SONET receiver consumes significantly less logic in FPGA
  • FPGAs adapt security functions in security blade design
  • Building mesh-based distributed switch fabrics with programmable logic
  • CPLDs become heart of scalable storage system
  • Designing an FPGA-based network communications device
  • IP core implements flexible network services on FPGAs
