[November 22, 2009] Avnet, TI and Xilinx Brings Out Analog eLab Videocast Series Tweet Nov 18, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- The Avnet Electronics Marketing operating group of Avnet, Texas Instruments (TI) and Xilinx have launched a new multipart videocast series emphasizing TI's Fusion Digital Power solutions for Xilinx field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This new Analog eLab Videocast series features engineering subject matter experts from Avnet, TI and Xilinx discussing design topics, in a round-robin format, and utilizing TI's eLab videocast format. The eLab series covers solutions and a best practices approach for powering FPGA design considerations in 5-15-minute installments. The videos follow a discussion format and include product demonstrations where appropriate. "Meeting the Power Requirements for Xilinx Spartan-6 and Virtex-6 Families" kicks off the series - subsequent installments feature real-world design examples using Xilinx's Power Estimator spreadsheet tool and a TI Fusion GUI Demonstration. "The philosophy behind the series is to demonstrate recommended design methodology for FPGA system power supply, and includes design information from Xilinx, tools/devices from TI, and practical design considerations from Avnet," said Jim Beneke, VP of global technical marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing. "While these best practices should apply to any processor, Avnet has selected to demonstrate some of the specific examples with the new Xilinx Spartan-6 and Virtex-6 evaluation boards."
