This application note covers the design considerations of a system using the performance
features of the LogiCORE™ IP Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) Interconnect core. The
design focuses on high system throughput through the AXI Interconnect core with F
MAX
and
area optimizations in certain portions of the design.
The design uses five AXI video direct memory access (VDMA) engines to simultaneously move
10 streams (five transmit video streams and five receive video streams), each in 1920 x 1080p
format, 60 Hz refresh rate, and up to 32 data bits per pixel. Each VDMA is driven from a video
test pattern generator (TPG) with a video timing controller (VTC) block to set up the necessary
video timing signals. Data read by each AXI VDMA is sent to a common on-screen display
(OSD) core capable of multiplexing or overlaying multiple video streams to a single output video
stream. The output of the OSD core drives the DVI video display interface on the board.
Performance monitor blocks are added to capture performance data. All 10 video streams
moved by the AXI VDMA blocks are buffered through a shared DDR3 SDRAM memory and are
controlled by a MicroBlaze™ processor.
The reference system is targeted for the Virtex-6 XC6VLX240TFF1156-1 FPGA on the
Xilinx® ML605 Rev D evaluation board
Abstract: Many industrial/scientific/medical (ISM) band radio frequency (RF) receivers use an external Sallen-Key datafilter and a data slicer to generate the baseband digital output. This tutorial describes the ISM-RF Baseband Calculator,which can be used to calculate the filter capacitor values and the data slicer RC components, while providing a visualexample of the baseband signals.
The XPS Ethernetlite peripheral does not provide any mechanism to access the Ethernet PHYregisters. These registers are used to configure auto negotiation parameters and to obtain PHYstatus. This application note provides reference systems and associated software to accessPHY registers by connecting the serial management bus signals MDC and MDIO to GPIOswhich the software controls directly.
The NCV7356 is a physical layer device for a single wire data linkcapable of operating with various Carrier Sense Multiple Accesswith Collision Resolution (CSMA/CR) protocols such as the BoschController Area Network (CAN) version 2.0. This serial data linknetwork is intended for use in applications where high data rate is notrequired and a lower data rate can achieve cost reductions in both thephysical media components and in the microprocessor and/ordedicated logic devices which use the network.The network shall be able to operate in either the normal data ratemode or a high-speed data download mode for assembly line andservice data transfer operations. The high-speed mode is onlyintended to be operational when the bus is attached to an off-boardservice node. This node shall provide temporary bus electrical loadswhich facilitate higher speed operation. Such temporary loads shouldbe removed when not performing download operations.The bit rate for normal communications is typically 33 kbit/s, forhigh-speed transmissions like described above a typical bit rate of83 kbit/s is recommended. The NCV7356 features undervoltagelockout, timeout for faulty blocked input signals, output blankingtime in case of bus ringing and a very low sleep mode current.
This example provides a description of how to use the USART with hardware flowcontrol and communicate with the Hyperterminal.First, the USART2 sends the TxBuffer to the hyperterminal and still waiting fora string from the hyperterminal that you must enter which must end by '\r'character (keypad ENTER button). Each byte received is retransmitted to theHyperterminal. The string that you have entered is stored in the RxBuffer array. The receivebuffer have a RxBufferSize bytes as maximum.
The USART2 is configured as follow: - BaudRate = 115200 baud - Word Length = 8 Bits - One Stop Bit - No parity - Hardware flow control enabled (RTS and CTS signals) - Receive and transmit enabled - USART Clock disabled - USART CPOL: Clock is active low - USART CPHA: Data is captured on the second edge - USART LastBit: The clock pulse of the last data bit is not output to the SCLK pin
Express Mode uses an 8-bit wide bus path for fast configuration of Xilinx FPGAs. Thisapplication note provides information on how to perform Express configuration specifically forthe Spartan™-XL family. The Express mode signals and their associated timing are defined.The steps of Express configuration are described in detail, followed by detailed instructions thatshow how to implement the configuration circui
This application note describes the implementation of a two-dimensional Rank Order filter. Thereference design includes the RTL VHDL implementation of an efficient sorting algorithm. Thedesign is parameterizable for input/output precision, color standards, filter kernel size,maximum horizontal resolution, and implementation options. The rank to be selected can bemodified dynamically, and the actual horizontal resolution is picked up automatically from theinput synchronization signals. The design has a fully synchronous interface through the ce, clk,and rst ports.
The Virtex-4 features, such as the programmable IDELAY and built-in FIFO support, simplifythe bridging of a high-speed, PCI-X core to large amounts of DDR-SDRAM memory. Onechallenge is meeting the PCI-X target initial latency specification. PCI-X Protocol Addendum tothe PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0a ([Ref 6]) dictates that when a target signals adata transfer, "the target must do so within 16 clocks of the assertion of FRAME#." PCItermination transactions, such as Split Response/Complete, are commonly used to meet thelatency specifications. This method adds complexity to the design, as well as additional systemlatency. Another solution is to increase the ratio of the memory frequency to the PCI-X busfrequency. However, this solution increases the required power and clock resource usage.
