This paper introduces two basic models for describing the space efficiency and the throughput of configurable devices. The first model focuses on available Programmable Logic Devices (PLD) and shows the relationships of silicon space and computing time to the block size. This model is further subdivided into a particular one for Complex PLDs (CPLD) and one for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FP...

It is well known that dedicated hardware has the potential to provide the fastest execution speeds but its rigidity often deters potential users. They prefer the economies of scale and flexibility which programmable systems offer. The proposed architecture uses new generations of re-programmable logic devices and modularised hardware, thereby gaining the performance advantage of hard-wired logi...

We have developed the effective algorithm for detecting digital binary phase-shift keyed signals. This algorithm requires a small number of arithmetic operations over the signal period. It can be relatively easy implemented based on the modern programmable logic devices. It also provides high interference immunity by identifying signal presence when signal-to-noise ratio is much less that its w...

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and reconfigurable crossbar switches currently represent distinct classes of integrated circuits. There is a need, however, for user-programmable devices that can provide both digital logic and fast, reconfigurable crossbar switching of digital signals within a single package. An investigation into the use of dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs for this purpo...

Recent strides in programmable logic density, speed and hardware description languages (HDL’s) have empowered the engineer with the ability to implement digital signal processing (DSP) functionality within programmable logic devices (PLD’s or FPGA’s). This paper, written for the intermediate DSP engineer or logic designer, begins with an overview of general DSP concepts. Filter design principle...

In this paper we discuss the potential of emerging spintorque devices for computing applications. Recent proposals for spinbased computing schemes may be differentiated as ‘all-spin’ vs. hybrid, programmable vs. fixed, and, Boolean vs. non-Boolean. Allspin logic-styles may offer high area-density due to small form-factor of nano-magnetic devices. However, circuit and system-level design techniq...

Thanks to the rapid development of electronics, systems built with programmable logic devices (FPGAs and CPLDs) and microcontrollers are more and more widely used. Their great advantage that arises from their programmable nature as compared to systems using application specific integrated circuits is their flexibility, which cuts back the cost of the development of the prototype to a great exte...
