A small post for Digilent’s largest products.   All three rebranded NI VirtualBenches are now sold by Digilent and supported by WaveForms on Windows Fastest and highest bandwidth mixed signal …

Let’s talk about clocking. It’s crucial to the functionality of FPGA boards and digital design in general, as all synchronous logic depends on clocks. In this article, we’ll define some …

Shifting Academic Focus In late June, Digilent attended the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference. We’re no strangers to the event, and have been proud to show off …

If you’ve been around electronics for a while, you’ve probably noticed that components like resistors, capacitors, zener diodes and inductors come in some odd values. Looking at the chart above, there seems to be no clear rationale behind the values, but there is a pattern. 47kΩ resistors and 22μF capacitors are everywhere, but not 40kΩ or 50kΩ resistors, or 20μF or 30μF capacitors. So what’s the deal? It all has to do with preferred numbers.

Brandon K. provides a quick rundown on the nuances of notation.

At this point in reading the blog and going through the learn material, you might realize that there is a lot of FPGA code. It doesn’t look like C, it doesn’t look like Java…what is it?

Now we know what a state machine is. But how do we code one?
