The Xilinx Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform (EPP) redefines the possibilities for embedded systems, giving system and software architects and developers a flexible platform to launch their new solutions and traditional ASIC and ASSP users an alternative that aligns with today’s programmable imperative. The new class of product elegantly combines an industrystandard ARMprocessor-based system with Xilinx 28nm programmable logic—in a single device. The processor boots first, prior to configuration of the programmable logic. This, along with a streamlined workflow, saves time and effort and lets software developers and hardware designers start development simultaneously.
One of the most misunderstood constructs in the Verilog language is the nonblockingassignment. Even very experienced Verilog designers do not fully understand how nonblockingassignments are scheduled in an IEEE compliant Verilog simulator and do not understand whenand why nonblocking assignments should be used. This paper details how Verilog blocking andnonblocking assignments are scheduled, gives important coding guidelines to infer correctsynthesizable logic and details coding styles to avoid Verilog simulation race conditions
本文簡單討論并總結了VHDL、Verilog,System verilog 這三中語言的各自特點和區別As the number of enhancements to variousHardware Description Languages (HDLs) hasincreased over the past year, so too has the complexityof determining which language is best fora particular design. Many designers and organizationsare contemplating whether they shouldswitch from one HDL to another.
This document provides practical, common guidelines for incorporating PCI Express interconnect
layouts onto Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) ranging from 4-layer desktop baseboard designs to 10-
layer or more server baseboard designs. Guidelines and constraints in this document are intended
for use on both baseboard and add-in card PCB designs. This includes interconnects between PCI
Express devices located on the same baseboard (chip-to-chip routing) and interconnects between
a PCI Express device located “down” on the baseboard and a device located “up” on an add-in
card attached through a connector.
This document is intended to cover all major components of the physical interconnect including
design guidelines for the PCB traces, vias and AC coupling capacitors, as well as add-in card
edge-finger and connector considerations. The intent of the guidelines and examples is to help
ensure that good high-speed signal design practices are used and that the timing/jitter and
loss/attenuation budgets can also be met from end-to-end across the PCI Express interconnect.
However, while general physical guidelines and suggestions are given, they may not necessarily
guarantee adequate performance of the interconnect for all layouts and implementations.
Therefore, designers should consider modeling and simulation of the interconnect in order to
ensure compliance to all applicable specifications.
The document is composed of two main sections. The first section provides an overview of
general topology and interconnect guidelines. The second section concentrates on physical layout
constraints where bulleted items at the beginning of a topic highlight important constraints, while
the narrative that follows offers additional insight.
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 revolution of automation on factory floors is a key driver for the seemingly insatiable demand for higher productivity, lower total cost of ownership,and high safety. As a result, industrial applications drive an insatiable demand of higher data bandwidth and higher system-level performance.
This white paper describes the trends and challenges seen by designers and how FPGAs enable solutions to meet their stringent design goals.
