In this paper, we efficiently implemented turbo code algorithm in FPGA H/W(hardware) resource. The used turbo code algorithm has the characteristics; the size of constraint is 3, encoder type is 1/3, the size of random interleaver is 2048. The proposed H/W consists of MAP block for calculating alpha and delta using delta value, storing buffer for each value, multiplier for calculating lamda, and lamda buffer. The proposed algorithm and H/W architecture was verified by C++ language and was designed by VHDL. Finally the designed H/W was programmed into FPGA and tested in wireless communication environment for field availability. The target FPGA of the implemented H/W is VERTEX4 XC4VFX12-12-SF363 and it is stably operated in 131.533MHz clock frequency (7.603ns).

This paper proposes robust state feedback control of asynchronous sequential machines with model uncertainty. The considered asynchronous machine is deterministic, but its state transition function is partially known before executing a control process. The main objective is to derive the existence condition for a corrective controller for which the behavior of the closed-loop system can match a prescribed model in spite of uncertain transitions. The proposed control scheme also has learning ability. The controller perceives true state transitions as it undergoes corrective actions and reflects the learned knowledge in the next step. An adaptation is made such that the controller can have the minimum number of state transitions to realize a model matching procedure. To demonstrate control construction and execution, a VHDL and FPGA implementation of the proposed control scheme is presented.

This paper presents the design of high speed processor for a sequence logic control using field programmable gate array(FPGA). The sequence logic controller is widely used for automating a variety of industrial plants. The FPGA designed by VHDL consists of program and data memory interface block, input and output block, instruction fetch and decoder block, register and ALU block, program counter block, debug control block respectively. Dedicated clock inputs in the FPGA were used for high speed execution, and also the program memory was separated from the data memory for high speed execution of the sequence instructions at 40 MHz clock. Therefore it was possible that sequence instructions could be operated at the same time during the instruction fetch cycle. In order to reduce the instruction decoding time and the interface time of the data memory interface, an instruction code size was implemented by 16 bits or 32 bits respectively. And the real time debug operation was implemented for easy debugging the designed processor. This FPGA was synthesized by pASIC 2 SpDE and Synplify-Lite synthesis tool of Quick Logic company. The final simulation for worst cases was successfully performed under a Verilog HDL simulation environment. And the FPGA programmed for an 84 pin PLCC package was applied to sequence control system with inputs and outputs of 256 points. The designed processor for the sequence logic was compared with the control system using the DSP(TM320C32-40MHz) and conventional PLC system. The designed processor for the sequence logic showed good performance.

In this paper, a co-design method for JPEG2000 video compression system using DSP and FPGA is presented. By profiling the complexity of JPEG2000 algorithm, it is noticed that a MQ-coder is the most complex part. Thus, we implement the MQ-coder on FPGA for the parallel processing using VHDL to reduce the complexity. In order to verify the performance of the MQ-coder, JBIG2 standard test vector and images are used. The experimental results show that the proposed MQ-coder enhances the processing time approximately 3 times compared with the previous software MQ-coder.

Domestically, we are capable of designing high-end memory semiconductors, but not in processors, resulting in unbalance. Using Vivado as a development enivronment and implementing the processor on a Xilinx FPGA reduces time and cost dramatically. In this paper, the popular language VHDL which is widely used in Europe, universities, and research centers around the world for the digital system design is used for designing a pipelined 32-bit ARM processor, implemented on FPGA and verified by Integrated Logic Analyzer. As a result, the ARM processor implemented on FPGA could execute ARM instructions successfully.

The process of automation and monitoring in industrial control system involves the use of many types of sensors. A programmable logic controller plays an important role in the automation of the different processes in the power plant system. The major control units are boiler for temperature and pressure, turbine for speed of motor, generator for voltage, conveyer belt for fuel. The power plant units are controlled using microcontrollers and PLCs, but FPGA can be the feasible solution. The paper focused on the design and simulation of hardware chip to monitor boiler, turbine, generator and conveyer belt. The hardware chip of the plant is designed in Xilinx Vivado Simulator 17.4 software using VHDL programming. The methodology includes VHDL code design, simulation, verification and testing on Virtex-5 FPGA hardware. The system has four independent buzzers used to indicate the status of the boiler, generator, turbine motor and conveyer belt in on/off conditions respectively. The GSM is used to display corresponding message on the mobile to know the status of the device in on/off condition. The system is very much helpful for the industries working on plant automation with FPGA hardware integration.

A window-based image processing is an elementary part of image processing area. Because window-based image processing is computationally intensive and data intensive, it is hard to perform ail of the operations of a window-based image processing in real-time by using a software program on general-purpose computers. This paper proposes a parallel hardware architecture that can perform a window-based image processing in real-time using FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). A dynamic threshold circuit and a local histogram equalization circuit of the proposed architecture are designed using VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language) and implemented with an FPGA. The performances of both implementations are measured.
