This paper describes the theory and implementation of audio effects such as echo, distortion and pitch-shift in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). At first the mathematical formulation for generation of such effects is explained and then the algorithm is described for its implementation in FPGA using Very high speed integrated circuit hardware descriptive language (VHDL). The digital system being designed, which is synthesizable and reconfigurable, offers a great flexibility and scalability in designing and prototyping in FPGAs. The system is divided into three HDL blocks, each for echo, distortion, and pitch-shift effect generation, which are multiplexed in order to share the common ADC and DAC. The audio effect generator designed in this paper was successfully implemented in Spartan-3E FPGA utilizing the resources available effectively. There has been tremendous research being carried out in the field of IP core. Efficient IP cores designed to carry out digital signal processing are implemented in every modern device using configurable logics. This trend hasn’t yet been realized in Nepal. Through the design and implementation of audio effect generator, this paper also aims at bringing the field of IP core development to limelight among scholars of Nepal.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njst.v15i1.12022 Nepal Journal of Science and TechnologyVol. 15, No.1 (2014) 89-98

The Internal Configuration Access Port (ICAP) is the core component of any dynamic partial reconfigurable system implemented in Xilinx SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). We developed a new high speed ICAP controller, named AC_ICAP, completely implemented in hardware. In addition to similar solutions to accelerate the management of partial bitstreams and frames, AC_ICAP also supports run-time reconfiguration of LUTs without requiring precomputed partial bitstreams. This last characteristic was possible by performing reverse engineering on the bitstream. Besides, we adapted this hardware-based solution to provide IP cores accessible from the MicroBlaze processor. To this end, the controller was extended and three versions were implemented to evaluate its performance when connected to Peripheral Local Bus (PLB), Fast Simplex Link (FSL), and AXI interfaces of the processor. In consequence, the controller can exploit the flexibility that the processor offers but taking advantage of the hardware speed-up. It was implemented in both Virtex-5 and Kintex7 FPGAs. Results of reconfiguration time showed that run-time reconfiguration of single LUTs in Virtex-5 devices was performed in less than 5 μs which implies a speed-up of more than 380x compared to the Xilinx XPS_HWICAP controller.

In order to improve the automation level of the electrostatic precipitator, we used Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) language to compile, emulate and optimize the control system of power source and vibration. In the design of Quartus platform, we used EP1C3T144C8 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip to realize high voltage power supply, alarm and protection system. We also realized the compilation and simulation test of each part’s function of 20 s rapping and 40 min rapping cycle. At the same time, we recorded the waveform of simulation. It demonstrated that the validity of the relevant VHDL compilation. We used this method to achieve the optimization control of the electrostatic precipitator operating parameters. It has a strong practicability.

This paper presents an implementation of Space-time Trellis Codes for 4-state on FPGA. To reach the very high data rates provided in STTC, a lot of expensive high-speed Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) should be employed for the real time applications, while it might not be affordable. This fact has motivated in designing dedicated hardware implementations using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with low cost and power consumption. The hardware device XC3S400, family Xilinx Spartan-3, and package PQ208 are used in this project, in which the STTC encoder and decoder utilizes maximum 10% and 22% as that of available device capacity respectively. The design has been simulated and synthesized successfully in Xilinx integrated software environment.

Programlanabilen bu sayısal kapılar sayesinde karmaşık tasarımlar kolay bir şekilde geliştirilebilmektedir. FPGA’lar küçük boyutlarda olup bilgisayardan bağımsız mobil olarak ve bilgisayarlardan daha yüksek hızlarda çalışabilmektedirler. Veri madenciliğinin görevlerinden biri olan sınıflandırma probleminin çözümü için geliştirilmiş önemli makine öğrenimi algoritmalarından biri Destek Vektör Makineleri’ dir. Literatürde Destek Vektör Makineleri’ nin diğer birçok tekniğe göre daha başarılı sonuçlar verdiği kanıtlanmıştır. Tümör analizi, yüz tanıma, robotik göz oluşturma gibi konular, araştırmacıların görüntü işleme alanında yoğun olarak üzerinde çalıştıkları güncel, önemli ve zor problemlerden bazılarıdır. Bilgisayarda yapılan tümör analizinde, grafik ve resimlerin işlenmesinde yavaş işlem yapma ve aynı zamanda mobil olmama sorunlarından, FPGA donanımı ile görüntü işlemede bu sorunların üstesinden gelinmektedir. Bu çalışmada FPGA donanımında çalışan destek vektör makinası kullanılarak daha gerçekçi tümör analizi yapılarak tümörlü bölgelerin bulunması ve gerekli analiz sonuçlarının gösterilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Böylece sağlık alanında da kullanılabilecek yararlı bir donanımın tasarımı gerçekleştirilecektir. Dolayısıyla gömülü sistemlerle anlatılan bu işlem süreçlerini gerçekleştiren çalışma sayısı çok az olduğundan çalışma özgün değer taşımaktadır. Buna ek olarak, FPGA’ ya özgü donanım tanımlama dillerinden biri olan Çok Yüksek Hızlı Tümleşik Devre Tanımlama Dili (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit  Hardware Description Language- VHDL) kullanılacaktır.

Abstract An original Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) code generation tool that can be used to automate Metabolic P (MP) system implementation in hardware such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) is described. Unlike P systems, MP systems use a single membrane in their computations. Nevertheless, there are many biological processes that have been successfully modeled by MP systems in software. This is the first attempt to analyze MP system hardware implementations. Two different MP systems are investigated with the purpose of verifying the developed software: the model of glucose–insulin interactions in the Intravenous Glucose Tolerance Test (IVGTT), and the Non-Photochemical Quenching process. The implemented systems’ calculation accuracy and hardware resource usage are examined. It is found that code generation tool works adequately; however, a final decision has to be done by the developer because sometimes several implementation architecture alternatives have to be considered. As an archetypical example serves the IVGTT MP systems’ 21–23 bits FPGA implementation manifesting this in the Digital Signal Processor (DSP), slice, and 4-input LUT usage.

<p>The tremendous growth of computer and Internet technology wants a data to be process with a high speed and in a powerful manner. In such complex environment, the conventional methods of performing multiplications are not suitable to obtain the perfect solution. To obtain perfect solution parallel computing is use in contradiction. The DLMS adaptive algorithm minimizes approximately the mean square error by recursively altering the weight vector at each sampling instance. In order to obtain minimum mean square error and updated value of weight vector effectively, systolic architecture is used. Systolic architecture is an arrangement of processor where data flows synchronously across array element. This project demonstrates an effective design for adaptive filter using Systolic architecture for DLMS algorithm, synthesized and simulated on Xilinx ISE Project navigator tool in very high speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Here, by combining the concept of pipelining and parallel processing in to the systolic architecture the computing speed increases.</p>

High-speed current controller for vector controlled permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is presented. The controller is developed based on modular design for faster calculation and uses fixed-point proportional-integral (PI) method for improved accuracy. Currentdqcontroller is usually implemented in digital signal processor (DSP) based computer. However, DSP based solutions are reaching their physical limits, which are few microseconds. Besides, digital solutions suffer from high implementation cost. In this research, the overall controller is realizing in field programmable gate array (FPGA). FPGA implementation of the overall controlling algorithm will certainly trim down the execution time significantly to guarantee the steadiness of the motor. Agilent 16821A Logic Analyzer is employed to validate the result of the implemented design in FPGA. Experimental results indicate that the proposed currentdqPI controller needs only 50 ns of execution time in 40 MHz clock, which is the lowest computational cycle for the era.
