Spade is an open-source hardware description language (HDL) developed at Linköping University, Sweden. Other HDLs you might have heard of include Verilog and VHDL. Hardware engineers use HDLs to ...

n the past, developers designed ASICs to solve specific problems using pure hardware solutions. More recently, higher levels of integration have produced complete system-on-chip (SoC) designs that now ...

Digital hardware design typically is done using a specialized language, called a hardware description language (HDL). This approach is based on the idea that hardware design has unique requirements.

In an earlier blog, I took it upon myself to declare field programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) a technology that is dead on arrival. In Field Programmable Analog & Gallium Arsenide, I drew a ...
