Talking About FPGAs and Time-Sensitive Networking
What you'll learn:
- How time-sensitive networking’s (TSN) determinism is beneficial for industrial automation.
- How TSN and FPGAs can be used together.
- What gaps still exist in TSN standardization.
This is the next podcast in our TSN series. In this episode, I talk with Karl Wachswender, Senior Principal System Architect at Lattice Semiconductor. Lattice is well known for its power-efficient FPGAs that support artificial-intelligence (AI) applications. The company also addresses post-quantum cryptography, which is found in demanding applications like automotive.
The ability of FPGAs to handle application chores in parallel allows for more efficient implementations. Thus, incorporating them in industrial applications that demand precise timing and synchronization means using TSN, which works well with FPGAs.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
