Hello List I started designing circuit boards back in the early 80's when everything was done with tape, ruboff's or marker. Etched my own boards and drilled...

What kind of ICs are you looking for? A friend told me that before 2000 Xilinx was using a 3rd party software for synthesis, and in 2000 they wrote their own...
... I am on the yahoo electronics_101 forum and put out that question. there was several people that knew and used Xilinx. One of them even wrote the file that...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has an adapter made... I want to solder a 100 pin VQFP chip (Xilinx Spartan III), and have 0.1Mil spaced throughole ...
Hello, I use Xilinx programmable hardware devices for my job. If all you want are some muxes, I would recommend getting two things: 1. You need the free Xilinx...
Aries makes QFP to PGA adaptors, which might work for you. ftp://www.arieselec.com/wwwroot/products/correct.htm Nick ... 100 ... throughole ... this,...
There is also a company called Schmartboard (http://www.schmartboard.com), which makes all kinds of adaptor boards. Or here's another $0.02. It could be...
Yeah, I will have to roll my own board for this one; I need precisely what you mentioned below: a plug-in board with the FPGA, PROM, regulation and reset...
Hi Vadim, What compiler are you going to use for the PicoBlaze? I have looked for a C compiler on the Xilinx website, but couldn't find it. Right now I'm...
Hi Nick, In fact I am using the TI.com document "Power Management FPGA Reference Guide" as the basis for the power design. The power designs they show are more...
Hello There, Is anyone out there doing Any RFID work and using expresspcb to lay out pcb's? Things such as antennas. I've done a few and just wanted to hear...
I am doing alot of work in the RFID field and have designed numerous control and antenna pcb's using expresspcb to do so. Was wondering if anyone else out...
I've never done any RFID antenna design, but recently I came across the Microchip app notes (AN678 and AN710) dealing with the RFID antennae. You might have...
Hi Vadim! Well, I'm a very inefficient assembly programmer, so if PicoBlaze doesn't have a C compiler, then it's not for me. I'll stick to high- level VHDL...
I just got a tip on a free C compiler for the PicoBlaze written by an enthusiast. http://www.poderico.co.uk/PCCOMP.htm Nick ... designs ... but ... of - ... ...
Hi Vadim, I was thumbing through a DigiKey catalogue lately and came across something I was looking for for a long time - development environment for Cypress...
Yes!!! This is a good one I forgot about. I played with this senior year of college - the programmer was ~$30, so it was accessable. I made a simple ECG...
Hi Vadim, Do you have the *.s files for the CPLDs? Could you post them to the group? They are a real dog to create manually (lot's of repetitive pin names),...
I posted the 9572 amd 95108 symbols. The 95108 pins do not have labels, but I don't think that is a problem since the Xilinx software creates a pin list as...
Hello All, I started using expressPCB about a month ago. I am currently taking a university design class and thought this group would be of some help. I am...
Hi Barrie, I'm trying to learn this stuff and the jargon along with it. Forgive me for being a little wet behine the ears, what is a *.p file? Do you mean a...
*.p files define a footprint that goes into the PCB artwork. ExpressPCB provides some *.p files for many standard footprints (DIP, SOIC, TSSOP, etc.). The...
Folks, Yesterday I have started to use OrCAD (it's "the" PCB design tool in my lab) and found out that it's libraries have huge holes*. I couldn't find a...
