Wireless sensor network (WSN) technology has been implemented using commercial off-the-shelf microcontrollers (MCUs), In this paper, we propose a simulation environment to realize the physical evaluation of FPGA-based node by considering vertically cross-layered WSN in terms of physical node device and network interconnection perspective. The proposed simulation framework emulates the physical FPGA-based sensor nodes to interoperate with the NS3 through the runtime infrastructure (RTI). For the emulation and interoperation of FPGA-based nodes, we extend a vendor-providing FPGA design tool from the host computer and a script to execute the interoperation procedures. The standalone NS-3 is also revised to perform interoperation through the RTI. To resolve the different time-advance mechanisms between the FPGA emulation and event-driven NS3 simulation, the pre-simulation technique is applied to the proposed environment. The proposed environment is applied to IEEE 802.15.4-based low-rate, wireless personal area network communication.

DTC(Data Terminal Controller) for UAV has been developed using FPGA. It provides the functions of Error Correction and Time-division Mux/Demux for stable data-link. RTOS VxWorks also has been used for real-time control of data-link. FPGA Design of DTC facilitates the modification and extension of various I/O device, and VxWorks ensures real-time availability of data-link control and provides flexibilities of changes of S/W design. The DTC is expected to be deployed easily for various UAV systems.

Domestically, the importance of system semiconductor design is increasing, and the balanced development with the high-end memory semiconductors should be promoted. Using Xilinx Vivado as a development enivronment tool, it reduces time and cost dramatically in implementing the processor on FPGA. In this paper, the VHDL language which provides record data structure for an efficient digital system design is used for designing a pipelined out-of-order superscalar processor. It has been simulated extensively, synthesized and implemented on FPGA and verified by Integrated Logic Analyzer. As a result, the pipelined out-of-order superscalar processor could be executed successfully.

This paper presents the hardware design of a 32bit floating point based processor. The processor can perform nonlinear functions such as sinusoidal functions, exponential functions, and other mathematical functions. Using the Taylor series and Newton - Raphson method, nonlinear functions are approximated. The processor is actually embedded on an FPGA chip and tested. The numerical accuracy of the functions is compared with those computed by the MATLAB and confirmed the performance of the processor.

Interface modules design between image sensor and external components are designed by FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) in this paper. Generally speaking, to satisfy synchronization for the poor quality data in image, SRAM is needed. To receive synchronization signal and image signal data with pixel dimension, the proposed interface logic technique is implemented. From the proposed technique, we can obtain more clear screen by implementing with pixel dimension. Operating frequency of image sensor and that of TFT-LCD are 50MHz and 6.5MHz, respectively. Most of control logic functions are embedded in FPGA. The designed logic gate counter has 33,216 and is designed by Quartus II.

USB bus not only works with convenience but also transmits data fast and becomes a standard peripheral interface between FPGA development board and personal computer. In this paper FPGA verification system with slave FIFO interface for Cypress FX3 USB 3 bridge chip was implemented. The designed slave FIFO interface consists of host interface module based on FIFO structure, master bus controller and command decoder and supports streaming communication interface for FX3 bridge chip and memory-mapped input and output interface for user design circuit. The ZestSC3 board with Cypress FX3 USB 3 bridge chip and Xilinx Artix FPGA(XC7A35T-1C5G3241) was used to implement FPGA verification system. It was verified that the FPGA verification system for user design circuit operated correctly under various clock frequencies using GUI software developed by visual C# and C++ DLL. The designed slave FIFO interface for FPGA verification system has modular structure and can be applicable to the different user designs with memory-mapped I/O interface.

We have developed Logic Design Training Kit for studying, actual training, designing of FPGA(Xillinx) or CPLD(ALTERA CPLD), the Digital Logic Device. This training kit has 12 matrix keys, RS232 port for serial communication and uses LED array. six FND(Dynamic), LCD as display part. That is standard specification for digital logic training kit. Special point of this kit is that we make two logic device trainig kit. This two logic device kit have more smaller and simple architecture because only uses one chip. That chip already includes a lot of functions that need for training kit, such as : complex logic circuit needed the two kind of logic devices, 16 way of system clock deviding function, serial communication interrupt....etc. We called that one chip is Center Bridge Chipset ; Xillinx FPGA Spartan2. User can select between using one device of FPGA or CPLD, or uses both them. Because of, Center Bridge Chipset has profitable architecture. it can work as Logic Device's networking with Master-Slave connection When using both logic devices.

A feedwater controller targeted for an ABWR has been implemented using a modern field programmable gate array (FPGA), and verified using the full scope simulator at Taipower's Lungmen nuclear power station. The adopted control algorithm is a rule-based fuzzy logic. Point to point validation of the FPGA circuit board has been executed using a digital pattern generator. The simulation model of the simulator was employed for verification and validation of the controller design under various plant initial conditions. The transient response and the steady state tracking ability were evaluated and showed satisfactory results. The present work has demonstrated that the FPGA based approach incorporated with a rule-based fuzzy logic control algorithm is a flexible yet feasible approach for feedwater controller design in nuclear power plant applications.

Recently, one of the most vital advancement in the field of finance is high-performance trading using field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The objective of this paper is to design high-performance Black Scholes option trading system on an FPGA. We implemented an efficient Black Scholes Call Option System IP on an FPGA. The IP may perform 180 million transactions per second after initial latency of 208 clock cycles. The implementation requires the 64-bit IEEE double-precision floatingpoint adder, multiplier, exponent, logarithm, division, and square root IPs. Our experimental results show that the design is highly efficient in terms of frequency and resource utilization, with the maximum frequency of 179 MHz on Altera Stratix V.
