Focusing on resource awareness in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) design, Applications of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays in Scientific Research covers the principle of FPGAs and their functionality. It explores a host of applications, ranging from small one-chip laboratory systems to large-scale applications in "big science." The book first describes various FPGA resources, including logic elements, RAM, multipliers, microprocessors, and content-addressable memory. It then presents principles and methods for controlling resources, such as process sequencing, location constraints, and intellectual property cores. The remainder of the book illustrates examples of applications in high-energy physics, space, and radiobiology. Throughout the text, the authors remind designers to pay attention to resources at the planning, design, and implementation stages of an FPGA application, in order to reduce the use of limited silicon resources and thereby reduce system cost. Supplying practical know-how on an array of FPGA application examples, this book provides an accessible overview of the use of FPGAs in data acquisition, signal processing, and transmission. It shows how FPGAs are employed in laboratory applications and how they are flexible, low-cost alternatives to commercial data acquisition systems. Web Resource A supporting website at http://scipp.ucsc.edu/~hartmut/FPGA offers more details on FPGA programming and usage. The site contains design elements of the case studies from the book, including VHDL code, detailed schematics of selected projects, photographs, and screen shots.

There are existing wideband communications systems that were built using field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based software defined radio (SDR) designs. Despite the inherent advantages of these systems, some are functionally restricted by limited output bandwidth. This thesis was conceived in order to mitigate the restrictions imposed on such designs. This was accomplished by designing an FPGA-based SDR that can compress sampled intermediate frequency (IF) signals. The compression scheme used in the final design is based on flexible operator-defined time-frequency bins and independent energy thresholds for each bin. The thesis presents basic design concepts that influenced the development process, the final design implementation created using Xilinx's System Generator software, and the tests used to verify the final design's functional capabilities.

Field programmable gate array (FPGAs) belong to the family of programmable logic devices and designing with FPGAs require knowledge of digital design. The book begins with an overview of boolean algebra and logic design followed by topics on programmable logic devices. Introduction to field programmable devices is then explained right from the basic FPGA which was used as glue logic to present day very advanced FPGA used in Embedded Systems including military and space applications. Further, it goes on to discuss the evolution of Xilinx, Altera/Intel and Actel/Microsemi FPGAs and their architectural features, and includes many design examples in VHDL and a brief introduction to System Verilog. The last three chapters discuss the Xilinx FPGA design flow completely from architectural specification to obtaining a bit stream to be loaded into the FPGA. Testing methodologies and design exercises using Spartan Series and the important research issues of FPGA Security along with the Future of FPGAs for the next two decades are described as well.

Embedded systems applications that are either mission or safety-critical usually entail low- to mid- production volumes, require the rapid development of specific tasks, which are typically computing intensive, and are cost bounded. The adoption of re-configurable FPGAs in such application domains is constrained to the availability of suitable techniques to guarantee the dependability requirements entailed by critical applications. This book describes the challenges faced by designers when implementing a mission- or safety-critical application using re-configurable FPGAs and it details various techniques to overcome these challenges. In addition to an overview of the key concepts of re-configurable FPGAs, it provides a theoretical description of the failure modes that can cause incorrect operation of re-configurable FPGA-based electronic systems. It also outlines analysis techniques that can be used to forecast such failures and covers the theory behind solutions to mitigate fault effects. This book also reviews current technologies available for building re-configurable FPGAs, specifically SRAM-based technology and Flash-based technology. For each technology introduced, theoretical concepts presented are applied to real cases. Design techniques and tools are presented to develop critical applications using commercial, off-the-shelf devices, such as Xilinx Virtex FPGAs, and Actel ProASIC FPGAs. Alternative techniques based on radiation hardened FPGAs, such as Xilinx SIRF and Atmel ATF280 are also presented. This publication is an invaluable reference for anyone interested in understanding the technologies of re-configurable FPGAs, as well as designers developing critical applications based on these technologies.
