SRAM-based FPGAs are non-volatile devices. Upon powerup, They are required to be programmed from an external source. This procedure allows anyone to easily monitor the bit-stream, and clone the device. The problem then becomes how can you effectively protect your intellectual property from others in an architecture where the part is externally programmed?
FPGAs have changed dramatically since Xilinx first introduced them just 15 years ago. In thepast, FPGA were primarily used for prototyping and lower volume applications; custom ASICswere used for high volume, cost sensitive designs. FPGAs had also been too expensive and tooslow for many applications, let alone for System Level Integration (SLI). Plus, the development
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are becoming a critical part of every system design. Many vendors offer many different architectures and processes. Which one is right for your design? How do you design one of these so that it works correctly and functions as you expect in your entire system? These are the questions that this paper sets out to answer.
The power of programmability gives industrial automation designers a highly efficient， cost-effective alternative to traditional motor control units （MCUs）。 The parallel-processing power， fast computational speeds， and connectivity versatility of Xilinx® FPGAs can accelerate the implementation of advanced motor control algorithms such as Field Oriented Control （FOC）。
Additionally， Xilinx devices lower costs with greater on-chip integration of system components and shorten latencies with high-performance digital signal processing （DSP） that can tackle compute-intensive functions such as PID Controller， Clark/Park transforms， and Space Vector PWM.
The Xilinx Spartan®-6 FPGA Motor Control Development Kit gives designers an ideal starting point for evaluating time-saving， proven， motor-control reference designs. The kit also shortens the process of developing custom control capabilities， with integrated peripheral functions （Ethernet， PowerLink， and PCI® Express）， a motor-control FPGA mezzanine card （FMC） with built-in Texas Instruments motor drivers and high-precision Delta-Sigma modulators， and prototyping support for evaluating alternative front-end circuitry.
The DSP Design Flow workshop provides an introduction to the advanced tools you need to design and implement DSP algorithms targeting FPGAs. This intermediate workshop in implementing DSP functions focuses on learning how to use System Generator for DSP, as well as HDL design flow, CORE Generator software, and design implementation tools. Through hands-on exercises, you will implement a design from algorithm concept to verification.

This work investigates the use of very deep pipelines for
implementing circuits in FPGAs, where each pipeline
stage is limited to a single FPGA logic element (LE). The
architecture and VHDL design of a parameterized integer
array multiplier is presented and also an IEEE 754
compliant 32-bit floating-point multiplier. We show how to
write VHDL cells that implement such approach, and how
the array multiplier architecture was adapted. Synthesis
and simulation were performed for Altera Apex20KE
devices, although the VHDL code should be portable to
other devices. For this family, a 16 bit integer multiplier
achieves a frequency of 266MHz, while the floating point
unit reaches 235MHz, performing 235 MFLOPS in an
FPGA. Additional cells are inserted to synchronize data,
what imposes significant area penalties. This and other
considerations to apply the technique in real designs are
also addressed.
DDR SDRAM控制器的VHDL源代碼，含詳細設計文檔。
The DDR, DCM, and SelectI/O™ features in the Virtex™ -II architecture make it the perfect
choice for implementing a controller of a Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM. The Digital Clock
Manager (DCM) provides the required Delay Locked Loop (DLL), Digital Phase Shift (DPS),
and Digital Frequency Synthesis (DFS) functions. This application note describes a controller
design for a 16-bit DDR SDRAM. The application note and reference design are enhanced
versions of XAPP200 targeted to the Virtex-II series of FPGAs. At a clock rate of 133 MHz,
16-bit data changes at both clock edges. The reference design is fully synthesizable and
achieves 133 MHz performance with automatic place and route tools.
