| Editorial Webinar: Should an FPGA be in your future? |
|
Overview:
FPGAs seem to be omnipresent on embedded boards. Is that fact or myth? FPGAs appear to be taking over many of the functions that were previously handled by multiple discrete components. Fact or fiction? If true, is that a good thing? Should your system's host processor be housed inside an FPGA? It seems as if these FPGAs are pulling in functionality that's traditionally been implemented by ASSPs or ASICs.
These, and many more questions will be answered in the next installment of Embedded Systems Design's Editorial Webinar series. The roundtable discussion participants will include several well-known industry experts. At the conclusion of the discussion, the lines will be opened to the audience, allowing the experts to answer your difficult design questions related to embedded design using FPGAs.
This Webinar is aimed at engineers and system designers who are curious about their design options and want to know when this technology makes sense, and what the challenges are when implementing this technology. Some additional challenges involved with the use of FPGAs to be discussed include design implementation complexity, tools capabilities (design approach), and ASIC NRE cost.
 Richard Nass, Editor-in-Chief/Editorial Director, Embedded Systems Design, Embedded.com, Embedded Systems Conferences
Rich's key responsibilities include setting the editorial direction for Embedded Systems Design magazine, the Embedded.com Web site, and the global Embedded Systems Conferences. Rich also handles the editorial for Embedded Systems Design Europe. He's been in the Electronics OEM industry for over 20 years. Before taking on the top editorial role for the Embedded franchise, Rich oversaw CMP's DesignLine network of design engineering Web sites. Prior to that, he spent six years as the Editor-in-Chief of Portable Design magazine, where he drove the editorial to new heights while launching a magazine and technical conference in China. Preceding that, Rich was a Technology Editor with Electronic Design magazine. He holds a BSEE degree from the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
 Clive "Max" Maxfield has spent over a quarter of a century in the electronic, computing, and EDA arenas. In 1980, after obtaining his BSc in Control Engineering, Max joined International Computers Limited (ICL), creating CPUs for mainframe computers. In addition to designing ASICs and circuit boards, Max has written numerous test programs for functional and in-circuit testers. Max has also authored and co-authored a number of books, including EDA: Where Electronics Begins, The Design Warrior's Guide to FPGAs, and How Computers Do Math (Featuring the Virtual DIY Calculator).
 Tom Dillon is the president of Dillon Engineering, which he founded in 1989. Dillon Engineering provides IP and consulting services for the most demanding DSP applications in FPGAs and ASICs.
 Jeff Bier is co-founder and president of Berkeley Design Technology, Inc. (www.BDTI.com), a trusted resource for insight, analysis, and advice on signal processing technology. Jeff oversees BDTI's benchmarking and competitive analysis of chips, tools, and other technology. Jeff is also a key contributor to BDTI's consulting services, which focus on product-development, marketing, and strategic advice for companies using and developing signal processing technologies.
Jeff is a recognized industry expert, frequently presenting seminars on signal processing applications and technologies. He is also editor of BDTI's respected technology analysis reports, including "Buyer's Guide to DSP Processors," now in its sixth edition. Jeff is also Editor in Chief and a frequent contributor on InsideDSP.com, an online newsletter dedicated to digital signal processing technology. Jeff earned B.S. and M.S. degrees from Princeton University and U.C. Berkeley.
 Hugo Andrade is a Principal Architect in the Architecture and Technology Group at National Instruments, which he joined in 1989. Mr. Andrade earned BS degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Sciences and an MS degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. While at National Instruments, he has led standardization efforts on instrument control software, led the research and early development of LabVIEW FPGA, and now works on new system level applications for LabVIEW FPGA and LabVIEW Embedded on FPGAs and related technologies.

National Instruments
For 30 years, National Instruments has transformed the way engineers and scientists design, prototype and deploy systems for measurement, automation and embedded applications. This graphical system design approach empowers embedded developers with LabVIEW graphical programming and off-the-shelf, FPGA-based hardware for design, simulation, rapid prototyping, implementation, validation and verification of embedded systems. Designers can rapidly develop and iterate on designs, reducing the time from concept to prototype. Off-the-shelf FPGA-based hardware from NI reduces time to market by eliminating the need for costly integration steps such as board bring-up. After prototyping and validating the design, the designer can then deploy these custom designs to off-the-shelf hardware or to custom hardware, reusing existing code to target any 32-bit microprocessor.www.ni.com/embedded
