Logic Foundry: Rapid Prototyping for FPGA-Based DSP Systems
We introduce the Logic Foundry, a system for the rapid creation and integration of FPGA-based digital signal processing systems.

متن کاملDigit-serial Reconfigurable Fpga Logic Block Architecture
This paper presents a novel eld-programmable gate array logic block architecture which incorporates support for digit-serial DSP architectures on a digit wide basis, without diminishing the support for random and control logic applications. To eeciently realize a digit-serial DSP design on FPGAs, one must create an FPGA architecture optimized for those types of systems. Key to the suitability o...
متن کاملImplementation of a Communications Channelizer using FPGAs and RNS Arithmetic
Field-programmable logic (FPL), often grouped under the popular name field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), are on the verge of revolutionizing sectors of digital signal processing (DSP) industry as programmable DSP microprocessor did nearly two decades ago. Historically, FPGAs were considered to be only a rapid prototyping and low-volume production technology. FPGAs are now attempting to move ...
متن کاملFPGA-based Prototyping of IEEE 802.11a Baseband Processor
Abstract: In technical literature and especially in domestic, predominant way to examine performance of 802.11a-based systems are experiments in simulations. In this paper, we present FPGA based 802.11a prototype, which gave us a possibility to gain closer insight into the problems of OFDM system implementation. A specific design of baseband modem physical layer is discussed, along with the pre...
متن کاملPROTOTYPING EMBEDDED DSP SYSTEMS − FROM SPECIFICATION TO IMPLEMENTATION (ThuPmOR3)
When embedding DSP systems, a designer must meet not only functional but also many other requirements, such as low resource requirements, real−time constraints and low power consumption. The design flow used in prototyping such systems usually includes high−level languages for specification capture and then involves a number of tradi−tional steps until the system is synthesized. Those steps oft...
