The evolution of Microelectronics has made the application of Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) inevitable in modern digital circuit designs and when they are deployed in Safety Systems, their Reliability and Safety need to be proved beyond doubt. The design will have to meet the stringent requirements. This paper provides a review of commercially available PLDs and the design methodologies to ...

Since modern programmable devices contain embedded memory blocks, there exists a possibility to implement Finite State Machines (FSM) using such blocks. The size of the memory available in programmable devices is limited, though. The paper presents a general method for the synthesis of sequential circuits using embedded memory blocks. The method is based on the serial decomposition concept and ...

In this paper the Peripheral Component Interface PCI is presented as a target/master reconfigurable interface, based on Programmable Logic Devices PLDs (the Field Programmable Gate Arrays FPGAs and the Complex Programmable Logic Devices CPLDs are collectively referred to herein as PLDs). The core of the PCI interface design is implemented on the 1428 PCI-Interface board Rev. 3.00 using XC4028EX...

The security of the Internet can be improved using Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs). A platform has been implemented that actively scans and filters Internet traffic for Internet worms and viruses at multi-Gigabit/second rates using the Field-programmable Port Extender (FPX). Modular components implemented with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic on the FPX process packet headers and sc...

We have recently adopted the complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) in our introductory logic circuits course at University of Hartford. While we have long introduced programmable devices in advanced courses, with the state of the art in logic circuits rapidly moving forward, there is a growing push to make more and earlier use of programmable logic devices (PLDs) in the electrical and comp...

An adaptive general parameter (GP) extension to polynomial FIR predictors is proposed for Rayleighdistributed fading signal prediction. The GP-extended FIR predictor has been implemented on Altera’s programmable logic devices, and its performance has been simulated with varying bit widths. The hardware implementation takes advantage of the characteristic properties of programmable logic devices...

Many factors, such as supply voltage, current consumption, die size, and routing structure, affect semiconductor power consumption. For devices with the same supply voltages, the device current determines power consumption. Although modeling can be an effective tool for estimating the current consumption of a particular design, it is not appropriate for comparing the relative current consumptio...

The division of a monolithic neural network into blocks with their implementation on programmable logic within the framework Fog computing concept is considered. It assumed that considering possible reconfiguration performed logic: field-programmable gate array, FPGA (complex device, CPLD), System-on-a-Chip, SoC or System-in-Package, SiP. article explores such an in Proteus Design Suite based A...
