This Design Idea describes a VHDL implementation of a PCI 2.2-bus arbiter (Figure 1). Any PCI system may have one or more PCI-master devices. Most devices can behave as target hosts, but one must be a ...

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) look like very complex integrated circuits. Performing bespoke functions and having engineers programming them in strange languages puts many people off. This is ...
