Nueron/NuOS: Amiga-inspired computer project based on Coldfire processors : Comment 64 of 68 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Megol on 24-Jan-2004 03:37 GMT | In reply to Comment 63 (Nate Downes): So you are suggesting one should do asyncronous logic in an FPGA?!?
I don't know where/how you learned about FPGAs but async. logic is extremly difficult in ASICs and almost impossible to do in FPGAs.
If one design synchronous logic as intended there is no timing difference between chips.
The suggestion that it would be any problem to syncronize/generate signals to within 100Hz is absolutely unbelivable, there is no problem either generating or reacting to signals from 0.0000001-133MHz with a relatively inexpensive FPGA (ex. Xilinx SpartanIIE) and by using DLL/PLLs one can get as exact timings as one can realistically need. |
