How to interface FPGAs to microcontrollers

July 31st, 2008 · 1 Comment




As many as half of all embedded designs have an FPGA next to a microcontroller. The FPGA can be used to implement anything from glue logic, to custom IP, to accelerators for computationally intensive algorithms. By taking on some of the processing tasks, FPGAs help to improve system performance, thereby freeing up the MCU from cycle-intensive tasks. FPGAs also provide excellent performance characteristics and lots of flexibility to accommodate changing standards.

    hi
    i appreciate u sir for ur posting and discussing about How to interface FPGAs to microcontrollers.
    sir could i get more document/table of content for the project
    1. interfacing FPGAs to microcontrollers high
    speed system control
    2. interfacing FPGAs to pc for communication
    (12c, SPI,UART)
