Digital signal processing algorithms often need to keep track of an entire block of data, or the coefficients of a complex equation, and without onboard memory, many processing functions do not fit within the configurable logic of an FPGA chip. The inherent parallel execution of FPGAs allows ...
Digital signal processing algorithms often need to keep track of an entire block of data, or the coefficients of a complex equation, and without onboard memory, many processing functions do not fit within the configurable logic of an FPGA chip. The inherent parallel execution of FPGAs allows ...
An FPGA is made up of a grid of configurable logic, known as adaptive logic modules (ALMs), and specialized blocks, such as digital signal processing (DSP) blocks and random-access memory (RAM) blocks. These programmable blocks are combined via configurable routing interconnects to implement comp...
DSPRelated FPGA Basics Introduction Most signal processing intensive applications on FPGA are still implemented relying on integer or fixed-point arithmetic. It is not easy to find the key ideas on quantization, fixed-point and integer arithmetic. In a series of articles, I aim to clarify some ...
The flexibility of FPGAs makes them suitable for various applications, such as electronics prototyping, digital signal processing, and high-performance computing. To design an FPGA, engineers use hardware description languages (HDLs) like Verilog or VHDL. These languages allow them to describe the ...
Lab 12: Basic Digital Signal Processing Learn the basics of signal processing in hardware using an audio codec. Connect an audio input (microphone) and output (speakers or headphones) to your FPGA development kit. Modify a provided starter kit circuit design to pass audio from the input to out...
The adoption of FPGA technology continues to increase as higher-level tools such as LabVIEW are making FPGAs more accessible. It is still important, however, to look inside the FPGA and appreciate how much is actually happening when block diagrams are compiled down to execute in silicon. Compari...
Along Came Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) Why go into all this detail regarding gate arrays when we wish to understand the basics of afield-programmable gate array (FPGA)? Simply put, a FPGA is just like an older gate array, but the metal interconnections between the gate array log...
