The authors describe the optimized reconfigurable cell array (ORCA) fieldprogrammablegate array (FPGA) architecture, which incorporates support for large datapath circuits on a nibble wide basis, without diminishing the support for random logic control applications. This is accomplished by providing a programmable function unit which is equally adapted to both environments. The routing structure is similarly designed to allow nibbles of data to be moved around the chip efficiently, while not penalizing the individual connections that characterize typical control logic. The ORCA FPGA and its associated computer-aided design (CAD) system provide users with the opportunity of implementing datapath circuits as well as control circuits easily and efficiently.

Various signals of finite length are often analysed by the Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD). Thus, this article deals with the implementation of their discrete WVDs on field-programmablegatearrays (FPGAs). For the discrete WVD, its calculation procedures are composed of the autocorrelation function and Fourier transform. Since the autocorrelation procedure is the most time-consuming step in the entire computation process, the authors analyse the calculation procedure of autocorrelation function in detail. Here the proposed efficient method just calculates partial non-zero elements of the autocorrelation matrices in order to reduce the computation complexity. The FFT (built-in FPGAs) is then utilised to acquire the discrete WVD. In addition, the idea of the fully-pipelined and parallelism is borrowed to reduce the running time but at the cost of recourses. Finally, the authors provide implementations of both authors proposed method and two other algorithms on different FPGAs. The experimental results show that the Intel Arria-10 FPGA families are the better choice in the floating point arithmetic and that authors method has the best performance.

Creating efficient arithmetic processors requires a pairing of high speed arithmetic algorithms with optimal mapping strategies for a given technology. The authors propose bit reduction as key to an efficient pairing process for lookup table based field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Bit reduction simplifies the functions defining the original algorithm, thus permitting a mapping to fewer blocks and reducing the overall throughput delay. A mapping of a digit-recurrence square root algorithm to the Xilinx XC4010 FPGA illustrates the bit reduction process.< >

This study describes the integration of thermally assisted switching magnetic random access memories (TAS-MRAMs) in field-programmablegate array (FPGA) design. The non-volatility is achieved through the use of magnetic tunnelling junctions (MTJs) in an MRAM cell. A TAS scheme is used to write data in the MTJ device, which helps to reduce power consumption during a write operation in comparison with the conventional writing scheme used in MTJ devices. Furthermore, the non-volatility allows reducing both power consumption and configuration time required at each power-up of the circuit in comparison with classical static random access memory-based FPGAs. An innovative architecture furthermore provides run-time reconfigurable (RTR) support at minimum area overhead. A RTR FPGA element using TAS-MRAM allows dynamic reconfiguration mechanisms, while featuring simple design architecture.

A survey of field-programmablegate Array (FPGA) architectures and the programming technologies used to customize them is presented. Programming technologies are compared on the basis of their volatility, size, parasitic capacitance, resistance, and process technology complexity. FPGA architectures are divided into two constituents: logic block architectures and routing architectures. A classification of logic blocks based on their granularity is proposed and several logic blocks used in commercially available FPGA's are described. A brief review of recent results on the effect of logic block granularity on logic density and performance of an FPGA is then presented. Several commercial routing architectures are described in the context of a general routing architecture modeL Finally, recent results on the tradeoff between the flexibility of an FPGA routing architecture its routability and density are reviewed.

This paper presents the simulation and experimental results of a new torque and flux controllers for the direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor drives. The controllers provide a simple solution to the variable switching frequency and high torque ripples problems encountered in the hysteresis-based DTC drives. The controllers operate based on the comparison between the compensated error signals and the triangular waveforms. Implementation of these controllers using the combination of a digital signal processor (DSP) and a fieldprogrammablegate array (FPGA) device is presented. The simulation and experimental results showed that the controllers were capable of reducing the torque and flux ripples significantly. At the same time the switching frequency was fixed, independent of the operating conditions

In this paper, we consider the problem of configuring field programmable gate arrays (FPGA's) so that some given function is computed by the device. Obtaining the information necessary to configure a FPGA entails both logic synthesis and logic embedding. Due to the very constrained nature of the embedding process, this problem differs from traditional multilevel logic synthesis in that the structure (or lack thereof) of the synthesized logic is much more important. Furthermore, a metric-like literal count is much less important. We present a communication complexity-based decomposition technique that appears to be more suitable for FPGA synthesis than other multilevel logic synthesis methods. The key is that our logic optimization technique based on reducing communication complexity is good enough to allow a simple technology mapping to work well for FPGA devices.

A high performance dielectric based antifuse fieldprogrammablegate array (FPGA) process has been developed using a standard 0.8 mu m double layer metal CMOS process. The process requires two additional self-contained modules to implement both the programmable interconnect element and the high voltage transistors required to program the antifuses. The antifuse is 8.4 nm ONO dielectrics. The high voltage transistors are 35 nm gate oxide with a novel S/D implant offset to field oxide edge and gate edge to achieve 20 volts programming voltage without disturbing the standard CMOS transistors. A family of FPGA's was developed using this technology yielding system-level performance of 75 MHz and 16 bit counter performance in excess of 125 MHz.< >

详细信息
This paper presents a stochastic logic-based method for quantitative risk assessment using fault tree analysis (FTA) that can take into account both types of uncertainties including objective and subjective uncertainties. In the proposed method, each fault tree gate is translated to its corresponding stochastic logic template and then is implemented on a fieldprogrammablegate array (FPGA). Because the analysis does not utilize any transformation methods, the results of analysis are more accurate than those methods which are based on transformation from possibility to probability distributions or vice versa. Experimental results for a benchmark fault tree show that this method accelerates analysis time compared to conventional hybrid uncertainty analysis method and transformation methods. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated by implementation in a real steel structure project. The quantitative risk assessment is performed for the incomplete penetration as one of the defects encountered in arc welding process, and its results are compared with transformation methods. The comparison results show the proposed hybrid uncertainty analysis method is also more accurate in comparison to the transformation-based approaches. Copyright (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
