By Chris A. Ciufo, Editor It's not always only the technology that makes a company. Sometimes differentiation and value-add services provide large COTS suppliers the competitive edge.
Will makes with the numbers and gives market forecasts for virtually all cell phone integrated circuits, including digital basebands, RF transceivers and PAs, application processors, graphics and other coprocessors, imagers, LCD drivers, touch-screen controllers, memories, and chips for all the new functions being added to cell phones.
We’ve heard that FPGAs can do signal processing algorithms. But what about the rest of the problem: controlling analog-to-digital converters, compensating for effects of voltage and temperature, and more?
Got a 4K x 4K image to process? Equalizing, correcting, interpolating, adjusting, and filtering every pixel at 35 fps? The Field Programmable Object Array enters the fray and shrinks the processing hardware required.
By Chris Fanning and David Lee Rutledge, Lattice Semiconductor Corporation
Two senior execs at Lattice give us their views on the Lattice strategy, with an in-depth look at non-volatile FPGA technology, in this exclusive interview.
FPGAs are becoming an increasingly important resource for software radio systems. This handbook introduces the basics of software radio followed by a brief review of the evolution of programmable logic technology which now offers significant advantages for
implementing software radio functions.
