Design of microprogrammed controllers to be implemented in FPGAs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the article we propose a new design method for microprogrammed controllers. The traditional structure is improved by modifying internal modules and connections. Such a solution allows reducing the total number of logic elements needed for implementation in programmable structures, especially Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Detailed results of experiments show that on the average the application of the proposed methods yields up to 30% savings as far as the destination device is considered.

متن کاملDifferential Power Analysis: A Serious Threat to FPGA Security
Differential Power Analysis (DPA) implies measuring the supply current of a cipher-circuit in an attempt to uncover part of a cipher key. Cryptographic security gets compromised if the current waveforms obtained correlate with those from a hypothetical power model of the circuit. As FPGAs are becoming integral parts of embedded systems and increasingly popular for cryptographic applications and...
متن کاملA practical design method for instruction decoder PLAs for microprogrammed controllers
This paper proposes a heuristic procedure for the design of instruction decoder PLAs for microprogrammed controllers, which can be considered as an output encoding problem where the input and output of the PLA are a set of macroinstructions and a set of starting addresses for the corresponding microcode sequences, respectively. Unlike conventional output encoding problems, the encoding space is...
متن کاملMulti-controller reconfiguration system for FPGAs
Adaptivity is one of the most critical issues related to System-on-Chip (SoC) design. In order to be runtime adaptive, SoC have to take into account changes related to user preferences and environment at runtime. Dynamically reconfigurable SoC, such as those implemented on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), are a good solution for runtime adaptivity. Dynamic reconfiguration allows FPGAs to...
