Despite many advantages of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), they fail to take over the IC design market from Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for high-volume and even medium-volume applications, as FPGAs come with significant cost in ...
The role of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) in System-on-Chip (SoC) design considerably increased in the last few years. Their established importance is due to the large amount of hardware resources they offer, as well as to their increasing perform ...
This paper presents a contribution to the development of rapid prototyping tools based on data-flow description. In this context, the efficiency of automatic translator tools from the data-flow description to C and/or HDL are presented using two design cas ...
A time-to-digital converter (TDC) architecture is presented enabling a time resolution of 17 ps over 50 ns and achieving twenty million conversions per second. The TDC, designed in a 65nm FPGA, is implemented as a pipelined interpolating architecture; it c ...
