On what seems like almost a daily basis, a news flash talks about some electronic product overheating, causing potentially catastrophic problems. While an overly hot product can, of course, cause ...

Let us begin a study of the floating-point instructions with the instructions that enable floating-point data to be transferred between the registers of the floating-point register file and memory, ...

The Itanium architecture requires all memory-to-register information transfers to take place between a storage location in memory and a register in the general register or floating-point register ...

In the first installment of this series we had a brief look at the steps needed to get a bare-metal application running on an STM32 microcontroller. While this allowed us to quickly get to the juicy ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

The SSTU32864/65/66 high-speed register ICs maximize DDR2 registered memory module performance by precisely controlling signals going to each DRAM on the module. Offering the highest speeds available, ...

Today's SoCs include hundreds of complex IP blocks with millions of transistors each. CSRs are essential for managing these IPs, with some systems having up to a million CSRs. IP-XACT standards help ...

A memory map is the bridge between a system-on-chip (SoC) and the firmware and software that is executed on it. Engineers may assume the map automatically appears, but the reality is much more ...
