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…

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.…

The JF-17 Myth: Is Pakistan’s ‘Thunder’ Just a Social Media Success? (Technical Analysis)
For years, the JF-17 Thunder has been projected as a symbol of technological self-reliance and airpower parity. On paper, it looks modern. On social media, it looks formidable. In carefully curated narratives, it looks almost unstoppable. But wars are not fought on timelines, hashtags, or promotional videos. They are fought in airspace where physics, engineering…
