Case study: Using VME to build an FPGA-based data acquisition system
While many have turned away from VME in favor of VXS, VPX, and even PC-based “computer motherboard” modules, among other iterations, this case study shows that VME is still a viable candidate in FPGA-based data acquisition systems. The primary reasons: Its high pin counts and additional P0 connector – plusses that came in handy when Joerger Enterprises designed its new module’s basecards and daughtercards. Data acquisition and control is...

COTS vendors speed FPGA development cycle
FPGAs' complexity and inherent flexibility necessitate prequalified tools, IP components, and a coherent development framework to keep tight project control. Consequently, COTS vendors are rising to the challenge of developers' maturing expectations by continuously improving toolsets and product integration. By John Wemekamp Contributor Although FPGAs are now used for DSP in many very diverse applications, they have become...

FPGA synthesis tools meet the DO-254 challenge
DO-254 compliance, as it spreads from aviation to military and beyond, is becoming a significant concern for more and more FPGA design companies. Synthesis is a key part of these flows, and, thankfully, tool vendors are beginning to address the key concerns of optimization vs. design assurance, SEU protection, redundancy control, and late design change capabilities required in FPGA synthesis tools for DO-254 compliance.

New mezzanine standard supports multi-GHz signal acquisition
Vendors producing off-the-shelf FPGA wares face the issue of offering the greatest flexibility with the fewest design iterations. Accordingly, VITA 57 (FPGA Mezzanine Card or FMC) is bridging FPGA I/O capability and the external world. By John Wemekamp Contributor FPGAs continue to offer the ideal solution to the front end of embedded subsystem designs. They are used for a wide variety of applications ranging from the...

Releasing the full potential of FPGA-based designs
For all the power and flexibility FPGAs bring to embedded designs, the additional development process injects new levels of complexity and constraint into the design workflow. Unifying the conventional hardware-FPGA-software design processes to make full use of FPGA reprogrammability is one way forward. As FPGA technology barnstorms its way through the military electronics and systems and virtually all other sectors of the embedded...

Video: FPGAs dramatically enhance UAV images
A video comprising footage from a drone UAV with Z Microsystems’ applied image enhancement algorithms performed on incoming SD or HD video streams using FPGAs. The coprocessing logic adds no additional latency but dramatically enhances the operator's ability to extract information from the image. Since ISR platforms are designed to turn information into action, the image enhancement is practically a no-brainer ''gotta have.'' For compariso...

White Paper: Putting FPGAs to Work in Software Radio Systems
FPGAs have become an increasingly important resource for software radio systems. Programmable logic technology now offers significant advantages for implementing software radio functions such as Digital Downconverters (DDCs). Over the past few years, the functions associated with DDCs have seen a shift from being delivered in ASICs to operating as Intellectual Property (IP) in FPGAs. For many applications, this implementation shift brings adv...
