Developing a real time system-an example - The system will be dealing with
data that comes from the real world. To begin with we will replace that data with
a simple count so that we can check it’s correctness as it passes through the
system. I chose to use an external clock to generate the data samples. Then I
could easily change the data rate each time I wanted to establish the limit of
performance of the system.....(added 5/08)
Digital Camera Interface - project shows how a CMOS ‘Camera On a Chip’ image
sensor can be interfaced to an XSA-100 Board through an I2C bus. The pixel data is
buffered in the XSA-100 SDRAM and is then uploaded through the parallel port to be
displayed on a PC. (added 4/02)
FIFO Provides Data Width Conversion - 09/26/02 EDN-Design Ideas: Many designs
require FIFO elastic buffers to form a bridge between subsystems with different
clock rates and access requirements. However, in some applications, you need FIFO
buffers for data conversion. One example is the case in which you need to connect
an 8-bit ADC to a 16-bit data-bus microprocessor through a FIFO buffer (Figure
1).....(design idea added 1/05)
FPGA Implements X50 Division 3 Recommendation - 04/13/00 EDN-Design Ideas: The
scheme in Figure 1a uses five delay cells and an XOR gate to configure the data
stream for the X.50 Division 3 recommendation of ITU-T. The X.50 recommendation
defines the fundamental parameters of a multiplexing scheme for interworking data
networks using different envelope structures. Division 3 applies to the
interworking between two networks, both of which use the 8-bit envelope
structure.....(design idea added 10/05)
FPGA makes simple FIFO - 10/26/00 EDN-Design Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1 is
an FPGA-based, synchronous FIFO that uses the same clock for read and write
operations. The circuit can generate FIFO-occupancy flags with a minimum of logic.
The boxed area in Figure 1 shows a more conventional occupancy meter. The circuit
is implemented in a demultiplexer that writes data in the FIFO when the data
arrives and reads data according to FIFO occupancy.....(design idea added 4/02)
