"An Application Engineer's View"

Brendan Bridgford Xilinx Corporation

Ed Patnaude Maxwell Technologies

Jonathan Alexander Actel Corporation

Summary

This segment, "An Application's Engineer's View," was held for the first time in 2003.   In this segment, application engineers will each present their answer to several questions, sent in by our attendees and the Technical Committee, in round robin format.   Please send potential questions in to mapld2004@klabs.org.  These are the two questions so far (preliminary) on the books:

1. Discuss a common and serious HDL coding error seen in military and aerospace designs.
2. Discuss the most valuable testing and troubleshooting techniques that many engineers are either unaware of or do not use.
3. What is the most common and subtle application error for non-volatile memories?

Next, like all MAPLD talks, a question and answer period will follow.  These can be follow-up questions to the answers already presented or any new, on-topic question.
