Despite the ubiquitousness of GPS devices, on board inertial navigation remains important. An IMU like the Sparkfun Ultimate IMU used, contains all the necessary sensors for inertial navigation. These sensors, particularly gyroscopes, are subject to error. An algorithm combining different modalities (acceleration, rotation, and the earth’s magnetic field) to filter this error is developed. The ...

Following the simple Programmable Logic Device (SPLD) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) generations a third generation of programmable logic technologies is now reaching the marketplace. These new architectures are driven by the move to system level integration and fast expanding markets such as networking and wireless communications which are not addressed adequately by mainstream FPGA'...

This paper introduces the Field-Programmable Learning Array, a new paradigm for rapid prototyping of learning primitives and machinelearning algorithms in silicon. The FPLA is a mixed-signal counterpart to the all-digital Field-Programmable Gate Array in that it enables rapid prototyping of algorithms in hardware. Unlike the FPGA, the FPLA is targeted directly for machine learning by providing ...

In this paper, an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) base band processor for a passive tag is presented. It proposes a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag digital base band architecture which is compatible with the EPC C C2/ISO18000-6B protocol. Several design approaches such as clock gating technique, clock strobe design and clock management are used. In order to reduce the area Decimal Matrix C...
