[Blog] How Small FPGAs Can Make a Big Impact

Posted 01/07/2025 by Bob O’Donnell, president and chief analyst, TECHnalysis Research, LLC

As with many types of devices, it’s easy to fall into the trap that bigger chips are better and more impactful than smaller semiconductor devices. In the case of FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) however, it’s often the smaller versions that have the largest range of applications and the most influence. Small FPGAs are used across a huge range of devices, applications, and industries because they reliably perform critical functions that are essential to the speedy operation of m...

Machine Vision: Letting My Device See Me

Machine Vision: Letting My Device See Me

Posted 07/18/2017 by Jatinder (JP) Singh

The first time I read Isaac Asimov's I, Robot as a teenager, I was instantly fascinated by the humanoid robots in the stories. These machines could see, hear and interact with the surrounding world with human-like abilities. These astonishing capabilities fed my imagination. I even recall asking my dad if these machines could really “see.” Now, as an engineer, I understand the importance of machine vision and the power of "sight” for robotics.
