BML FPGA Design Tutorial Part-15ofN : Digital Logic Simulation

2024.09.08 : I’m BSEE Kevin Hubbard from Seattle, WA. I design digital logic chips that are fast, small, low power, and reliable. That’s actually the working title for my upcoming book, “FPGA Chip Design for Speed, Area, Power, and Reliability”. I’ve been doing this ( digital chip design ) for more than 30 years and decided it’s high time that I give back some of my experience to the next generation of digital chip designers that are up and coming. This is Part-15 of my “Getting started with FPGAs” series which starts here. It is an early sneak preview for...

The Pentium as a Navajo weaving

Hurrying through the National Gallery of Art five minutes before closing, I passed a Navajo weaving with a complex abstract pattern. Suddenly, I realized the pattern was strangely familiar, so I stopped and looked closely. The design turned out to be an image of Intel's Pentium chip, the start of the long-lived Pentium family.1 The weaver, Marilou Schultz, created the artwork in 1994 using traditional materials and techniques. The rug was commissioned by Intel as a gift to AISES (American Indian Science & Engineering Society) and is currently part of an art exhibition—Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction—focusing on the intersection between abstract art and woven...

Простой лабораторный высоковольтный БП 1…10 кВ своими руками

Универсальный регулируемый источник питания 1…10 кВ постоянного тока, из подножных материалов, для замены индукционной катушки [1] при работе с самодельными газоразрядными приборами. Блок питания (БП) имеет бортовой киловольтметр и миллиамперметр, а встроенный магазин балластных сопротивлений и переключающиеся шунты позволят использовать его как источник питания небольшого магниторазрядного высоковакуумного насоса или вакуумметра — т. н. ячейки Пеннинга.

Free Stuff - January 2024

The January 2024 recipient for the Great Scott Gadgets Free Stuff Program is Marc, the author of PySDR.org. Marc is interested in learning more about HackRF One and potentially adding a chapter on HackRF One to the PySDR.org documentation. We look forward to working with Marc on this update to PySDR.org and helping even more folks with finding new ways to interact with their HackRF One.

BML FPGA Design Tutorial Part-14ofN : Clocking

2024.08.25 : I’m BSEE Kevin Hubbard from Seattle, WA. When a stranger asks what I do, I typically answer “I design computer chips” and they usually stare at me blankly. I don’t actually work for Nvidia, AMD or even Intel. I use the term “computer chips” generically for “large digital semiconductor chips” which is a mouthful that very few understand. For 30+ years I’ve been designing digital ASICs and FPGAs. I’m giving back now in writing this “Getting started with FPGAs” series which starts here. I hope others may learn a little bit from my experiences going back to the early...

Inside the guidance system and computer of the Minuteman III nuclear missile

The Minuteman missile was introduced in 1962 as a key part of America's nuclear deterrent. The Minuteman III missile is currently the only US land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), with 400 missiles ready for launch, spread across five central states.1 The missile contains a precision guidance system, capable of delivering a warhead to a target 13,000 km away (8000 miles) with an accuracy of 200 meters (660 feet).

The diagram below shows the guidance system of the Minuteman III missile (1970). This guidance system contains over 17,000 electronic and mechanical parts, costing $510,000 (about $4.5 million in current dollars). The heart of the guidance system is the...
