Intel® FPGA enables new levels of security for 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable CPU (code named Ice Lake) Server Platform Earlier this month Intel released details about several new security technologies associated with the upcoming 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor (code-named “Ice Lake”) server platform. These technologies include: Intel® Software Guard Extension (Intel® SGX), a heavily researched, updated, and battle-tested Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) used for confidential computing in data centers. Intel Total Memory Encryption (Intel TME), which...

Need a power sequencer? Here’s one that sequences as many as 144 voltage rails and fits in an Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA or MAX® V CPLD CPUs, SoCs, FPGAs, and ASICs generally need carefully timed sequencing of voltages on their various power supply rails to safely power up and power down. You can fit a sophisticated, modular power sequencer that controls as many a 144 power rails with configurable power-on and power-off sequencing and timing for each rail inside of an Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA or...

Multi-rail power sequencer based on Intel® Max® 10 FPGA handles power-supply sequencing needs of CPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, and more Sequencing regulated power to large ICs such as CPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs is a critical job that’s become increasingly complex as the number of power rails increases. The wrong power-up sequence can prevent a system from initializing properly and the wrong power-down sequence can cause data loss. If you’re facing a design with complex power-sequencing requirements, then the configurable Multi-Rail...

Alorium conjures a world of hardware-accelerated Arduino boards using Intel® MAX® 10 FPGAs The open-source Arduino has become one of the most widely used embedded architectures for simple projects. The original Arduino boards were based on an 8-bit AVR microcontroller, originally developed by Atmel. The Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) and simplified programming “sketches” based on C++ made embedded programming easily accessible. Recognizing that Arduino code is not particularly fast, particularly for I/O,...

FPGA revives famous, long out-of-print music synthesis chip, the 6581 SID, now in the IEEE Chip Hall of Fame Several years ago, Andreas Beermann started a hobby project that has taken some unforeseen paths. He decided to replicate the design of the long discontinued MOS Technology 6581 Sound Interface Device (SID) chip using an FPGA. The SID chip was used in a variety of personal computers during the 1980s including the Commodore 64 and the Commodore 128. The SID...

How to power nearly everything – Processors, FPGAs, ASICs – the easy way with high-frequency PowerSOC converters The days of powering every chip on a board with a single 5 V or 3.3 V supply are long gone. Most complex ICs including processors, FPGAs, and ASICs require multiple supply voltages. Efficiently meeting the power needs of these devices becomes a complicated design challenge, but point-of-load (POL) converters can simplify these challenges. More specifically, Intel® Enpirion® compact,...
