This Design Idea describes a VHDL implementation of a PCI 2.2-bus arbiter (Figure 1). Any PCI system may have one or more PCI-master devices. Most devices can behave as target hosts, but one must be a ...
Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) look like very complex integrated circuits. Performing bespoke functions and having engineers programming them in strange languages puts many people off. This is ...
The 8255A Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) implements a general-purpose I/O interface to connect peripheral equipment to a microcomputer system bus. The core’s functional configuration is ...
