An Evolutionary Approach to Automatic Generation of VHDL Code for Low-Power Digital Filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
An evolutionary algorithm is used to design a finite impulse response digital filter with reduced power consumption. The proposed design approach combines genetic optimization and simulation methodology, to evaluate a multi-objective fitness function which includes both the suitability of the filter transfer function and the transition activity of digital blocks. The proper choice of fitness function and selection criteria allows the genetic algorithm to perform a better search within the design space, thus exploring possible solutions which are not considered in the conventional structured design methodology. Although the evolutionary process is not guaranteed to generate a filter fully compliant to specifications in every run, experimental evidence shows that, when specifications are met, evolved filters are much better than classical designs both in terms of power consumption and in terms of area, while maintaining the same performance.

In this paper, we present a new approach for real-time implementation of the Chen’s chaotic system on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The approach consists on using structural hardware description language (VHDL) with a fixed-point representation, contrary to some previous works which use somewhat non optimal VHDL code generation using automatic code generation tools. The obtained real-ti...

This paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. The power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a RL low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which comprises an RL in series with an IGBT based voltage source converter. The filter is assumed...
