This paper introduces the design of multichannel acquisition circuit based on FPGA which samples and records the Doppler signals, ignition signal and the working condition of fuze security enforcement agencies of missile fuze in real-time in the test of high speed dynamic intersection. Furthermore, for the problem of increasing number of sample channel which causes the complexity of the multipl...

The stability, reliability and miniaturization of fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) are always the research focuses and difficulties. This paper presented a hardware design method for the digital closed loop control system of FOG based on FPGA. Based on a large number of experiments, this paper summarized the parameter demands for each module of closed loop control circuit and designed a correspondin...

This paper details the initial design and planning of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implemented control system that will enable a path planner to interact with a MAVLink based flight computer. The design is aimed at small Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles (UAV) under autonomous operation which are typically subject to constraints arising from limited on-board processing capabilities, power an...

System Level Verification and Performance Analysis for FPGA Accelerated Computers Zhimin Chen, Xu Guo, Ambuj Sinha, and Patrick Schaumont Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24060, USA E-mail: {chenzm, xuguo, ambujs87, schaum}@vt.edu. As an accelerator, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has become a great potential to assist a general-purpose proce...

Our toolchain for accelerating application called Courier-FPGA, is designed for utilize the processing power of CPU-FPGA platforms for software programmers and non-expert users. It automatically gathers runtime information of library functions from a running target binary, and constructs the function call graph including input-output data. Then, it uses corresponding predefined hardware modules...

This paper focuses on the design of a low power and high performance FPGA based Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) controller for three phase implementation for Servo control Application. A new method is proposed to realize easy, accurate and high performance SVPWM technique based on FPGA with low resource consumption and reduced execution time than conventional methods. The FPGA based...

ECUs ( Electronic Control Units ) are embedded controllers in automobiles. The number of ECUs in each automobile is increasing and their functions are becoming more complex in order to meet environmental requirements and satisfy market needs. It is important to make these ECUs reliable for the sake of customer safety. Since space and cost reduction are high priorities for automobile application...

The succesful application of model predictive control (MPC) in fast embedded systems relies on faster and more energy efficient ways of solving complex optimization problems. A custom quadratic programming (QP) solver implementation on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) can provide substantial acceleration by exploiting the parallelism inherent in some optimization algorithms, apart from pr...

The strong interconnection and interrelation of safety and security properties of industrial system which are based on programmable logic (field programmable gate arrays, FPGA) is reviewed. Information security, i.e. system's ability to protect the information and data from unauthorized access and modification, is a subordinate property with respect to safety of many instrumentation and control...
