FPGA Clocking Fundamentals: Synchronous Design and the Importance of Determinism
In the software world, we are taught that faster is always better. When you go out to buy a processor for your laptop, you look at the specs: 3.2GHz, 4.5GHz, or perhaps a overclocked monster hitting 5GHz. In that world, the clock frequency is the primary metric of “power.” But then you enter the world…

The “Solidarity” Bluff: How Pakistan’s Obsession With India Is Breaking Its own System
January 2026 will be remembered less for cricketing drama and more for political theatre dressed up as principle. The so‑called “Solidarity” boycott—projected as a moral stand—has exposed a deeper malaise in South Asian cricket and, more specifically, in Pakistan’s sporting and national posture.

How to Become an FPGA Engineer: The Roadmap Your Professors Missed
“What Is the Point of This?” During my bachelor’s, I was sitting in a university lecture hall, staring at the whiteboard, thinking the same thought every engineering student has at least once: “What is the point of this?” The professor was explaining Karnaugh maps, flip-flops, and Z-transforms. He explained how to solve problems, but never…

PSLV-C62 Failure Analysis: Why ISRO’s Workhorse is Struggling in SpaceX era!
For over three decades, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) has been the quiet backbone of India’s space ambitions. It launched Chandrayaan-1, carried the Mars Orbiter Mission, and once stunned the world by deploying 104 satellites in a single mission. Within ISRO, PSLV earned a simple nickname: Old Reliable. That reputation is now under pressure.…

Hype vs. Reality: Trump’s 50% Tariffs and the Indian Textile Industry
If you’ve turned on a news channel lately, you’ve seen the “breaking news” banners: “Textile Industry in Ruins,” “Trump’s 50% Tariff Crushes Exporters,” or the latest political gossip about whether PM Modi called President Trump eight times or zero times. The narrative is clear: India is losing, and we should all be panicked. But here…

FPGA vs. CPU: Understanding True Parallelism and the Syntax Trap
Coming from C/C++? Learn why FPGA “programming” is a myth. A Firmware Lead explains the Paradox of Parallelism, the Loop Unrolling secret, and why your VHDL code is actually a physical blueprint, not a list of instructions.

The Career Everyone Missed: FPGA Engineers in the Age of AI
The Great Software Saturation of 2026 Every morning, tech headlines sound the same: “AI writes 80% of enterprise code.”“Junior developer roles vanish as agentic AI matures.” If you’re a student or a mid-career professional looking at the sea of millions of software engineers, that anxiety is real. The software layer of the world is crowded,…
