Two types of programmable logic devices using LUTs (Look-Up Tables) are presented. An LUT cascade directly implements logic functions by a series connection of LUTs, while an emulator emulates an LUT cascade by sequentially accessing LUTs. The LUT cascade is faster, but has a limited logic capability, while the emulator is slower, but has a higher logic capability. LUT cascades and emulators ca...

The ability to protect critical cyber infrastructure remains a multi-faceted problem facing both the commercial sector and the federal government. Hardware intellectual property (IP) embedded within application-specific integrated circuits and programmable logic devices are subject to adversarial analysis in the form of subversion, piracy, and reverse engineering. We consider the effect of tran...

We are designing and plan to fabricate a 3-dimensional field programmable gate array. The three dimensional technology, developed at Northeastern University, is based on transferred circuits with interconnections between layers of active devices. Interconnections are in metal, and can be placed anywhere on the chip. Our FPGA architecture, called Rothko, extends the Routing and Logic Block (RLB)...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA’s) are now widely used for the implementation of digital systems, and many commercial architectures are available. Although the literature and data books contain detailed descriptions of these architectures, there is very little information on how the high-level architecture was chosen and no information on the circuit-level or physical design of the devices...

Orginal scientific paper Nowadays, with the development of information technology, real-time and reliable devices have been developed for users and system control. Commonly used ones are programmable logic controller and operator panels. Programming of these devices, learning the communication with the controller and the hardware installations have gained great importance especially for technic...

in this paper, a new structure possessing the advantages of low-power consumption, less hardware and high-speed is proposed for fuzzy controller. the maximum output delay for general fuzzy logic controllers (flc) is about 86 ns corresponding to 11.63 mflips (fuzzy logic inference per second) while this amount of the delay in the designed fuzzy controller becomes 52ns that corresponds to 19.23 m...

The analytical section of this paper deals with theoretical knowledge, considering the latest trends in subject area. To achieve successful implementation cobots based on operating systems manufacturing systems, it is necessary to pay attention specifically interfacing Robot Operating Systems control at process level an enterprise. In practical section, algorithm well-defined steps towards holo...

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are nonconventional processors built almost entirely out of lookup tables. In particular, FPGAs contain grids of logic blocks, connected by a grid of wires with programmable connections. Each logic block has one or more lookup tables and several bits of memory. As a result, logic blocks can implement arbitrary logic functions (up to a few bits), or be comb...

Programmable logic designs are presented that achieve exact integration of leaky integrate-and-fire soma and dynamical synapse neuronal models and incorporate spike-time dependent plasticity and axonal delays. Highly accurate numerical performance has been achieved by modifying simpler forward-Euler-based circuitry requiring minimal circuit allocation, which, as we show, behaves equivalently to...
