Jan Decaluwe is a technical and business consultant in electronic design and EDA. He received an MS in electronic engineering from the Catholic University of Leuven in 1985. Subsequently, he worked at Imec and the University of São Paulo. In 1990, he went to Alcatel, where he learned about HDL-based design and synthesis. This technology has fascinated him ever since. In 1991, Jan co-founded Easics, a SoC design services company, where he is still a director. He is also a director at Sigasi, a company that makes intelligent IDEs for VHDL and Verilog. He is the author of MyHDL, an open-source Python-based HDL, which he sees as a step toward agile hardware design.

Would you class these as adages, aphorisms, axioms, dictums, epigrams, maxims, precepts, saws, truisms, or... well, what?
Here we discover how to use the XADC (Xilinx Analog-to-Digital Convertor) in the Zynq All Programmable SoC to read the chip's internal temperature and voltage parameters and output them over an RS-232 link.
When extreme thermal cycling causes circuit boards and chip packages and the silicon die in the packages to expand and contract at different rates, problems may ensue.
In part 3 of this epic tale we consider how we might use tri-state buffers, leading up to the legendary bi-directional buffer.
Digital engineers are often confused among operational amplifiers, differential amplifiers, and instrumentation amplifiers; this is exacerbated by the fact that their circuit symbols can be similar.
