As engineers, we know the importance of having versatile and effective tools at our disposal. The Analog Discovery 2 from Digilent is one such tool that has become a staple …
We’ve been working with Pavel Demin, a research engineer based in Belgium, on several projects related to the Eclypse. For the first, to demonstrate approaches to rapid prototyping, he put …
The 4-20 mA current loop interface came about because of the need to transmit information over long distances. System designers found that instead of a changing a voltage signal [that …
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is today’s go-to device for changing an analog signal into a digital binary value. The ADC takes a snapshot in time that approximates the actual value …
Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that performs many traditional radio functions in software instead of dedicated hardware circuits. Tasks such as filtering, modulation, demodulation, signal generation, …
Most students do not struggle with equations. They struggle with understanding what those equations actually do. In many learning environments, students define a system, run a process, and then interpret …
If you’re choosing between an FPGA and a SoC, the real question is not which one is “better.” It’s which one fits the job in front of you. Here is …
You open a Verilog example, launch Vivado for the first time, or start reading for a digital design course, and one term keeps showing up: RTL. It usually appears as …
