The subject of variable step size maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms has been addressed in the literature. However, most of the addressed algorithms tune the variable step size according to two variables: the photovoltaic (PV) array voltage ($V_{PV}$) and the PV array current ($I_{PV}$). Therefore, both the PV array current and voltage have to be measured. Recently, maximum power point trackers that arc based on a single variable ($I_{PV}$ or $V_{PV}$) have received a great deal of attention due to their simplicity and ease of implementation, when compared to other tracking techniques. In this paper, two methods have been proposed to design a variable step size MPPT algorithm using only a single current sensor for stand-alone battery storage PV systems. These methods utilize only the relationship between the PV array measured current and the converter duty cycle (D) to automatically adapt the step change in the duty cycle to reach the maximum power point (MPP) of the PV array. Detailed analyses and flowcharts of the proposed methods are included. Moreover, a comparison has been made between the proposed methods to investigate their performance in the transient and steady states. Finally, experimental results with field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are presented to verify the performance of the proposed methods.

최근 신호처리, 암호학 등 다양한 분야에서 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)의 활용이 증가함에 따라 최적화 연구의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) 하드웨어를 사용하여 radix-2 16 points FFT 알고리즘을 기존 연구들보다 빠르고 효율적으로 처리하는 가속기 구현 연구에 대해 기술한다. FPGA가 갖는 병렬처리 및 파이프라이닝 등의 하드웨어 이점을 활용하여 PL(Programmable Logic) 파트에서 Verilog 언어를 통해 FFT Logic을 설계 및 구현한다. 이후 PL 파트에서의 처리 시간 비교를 위해 PS(Processing System) 파트에서 Zynq 프로세서만을 사용하여 구현 후, 연산 시간을 비교한다. 또한 관련 연구와의 비교를 통해 본 구현 방법의 연산 시간 및 리소스 사용의 효율성을 보인다.

In this paper, we have developed a general purpose motion controller using an FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). The multi-PID controllers on a single chip are implemented as a system-on-chip for multi-axis motion control. We also develop a PC GUI for an efficient interface control. Comparing with the commercial motion controller LM 629 it has multi-independent PID controllers so that it has several advantages such as space effectiveness, low cost and lower power consumption. In order to test the performance of the proposed controller, robot finger is controlled. The robot finger has three fingers with 2 joints each. Finger movements show that position tracking was very effective. Another experiment of balancing an inverted pendulum on a cart has been conducted to show the generality of the proposed FPGA PID controller. The controller has well maintained the balance of the pendulum.

Steganography, which is popular as an image processing technology, is the art of using digital images to hide a secret message in such a way that its existence can only be discovered by the sender and the intended receiver. This technique has the advantage of concealing secret information in a cover medium without drawing attention to it, unlike cryptography, which tries to convert data into something messy or meaningless. In this paper, we propose two efficient least significant bit (LSB)-based steganography techniques for designing an image-based steganography system on chip using hardware description language (HDL). The proposed techniques manipulate the LSB plane of the cover image to embed text inside it. The output of these algorithms is a stego-image which has the same quality as that of the original image. We also implement the proposed techniques using the Altera field programmable gate array (FPGA) and Quartus II design software.

일반 가전제품, 자동화장치등에 널리 채용된 원격조종기(리모콘)의 응용범위는 더욱 보편화되면서 기능이 다양해지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 기능에 대응할 수 있는 원격조종기의 새로운 송신회로를 제시하고 있다. 이 회로는 마이크로코드 방식을 채택하여 코드의 변환과 확장, 그리고 펄스폭을 프로그램할 수 있게 하였으며, 프로세싱 회로를 제거하여 소형차가 쉽도록 하였다. 이 회로는 FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array)를 사용하여 구현하였고 성공적인 동작이 확인되었다.

In this paper, hardware design and implementation of digital controller for the High Precision Digital Power Supply (HPDPS) based on Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is presented. Developed digital controller is composed of high resolution Digital Pulse Width Modulation (DPWM) and high resolution analog to digital converter circuit with anti-aliasing filter. And Digital Signal Processor (DSP) has the capability of a few micro-second calculation time for one feedback loop. 32-bit DSP and DPWM with 150[ps] step resolution is used to implement the HPDPS. Also 18-bit 2 mega sample per second ADC board is adopted for the developed digital controller. Also, hardware structure of the developed digital controller and experimental results of the first prototype board for HPDPS is described.

This paper presents the hardware implementation of a neural network controller for a nonlinear system with a micro-controller unit (MCU) and a field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip. As an on-line learning algorithm of a neural network, the reference compensation technique has been implemented on an MCU, while PID controllers with other functions such as counters and PWM generators are implemented on an FPGA chip. Interface between an MCU and a field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip has been developed to complete hardware implementation of a neural controller. The developed neural control hardware has been tested for balancing the inverted pendulum while controlling a desired trajectory of a cart as a nonlinear system.
