In this paper, we would like to propose the design of symmetric digital filter core in order to use in the radio astronomy. The function of FIR filter core would be designed by VHDL code required at the Data Acquisition System (DAS) of Korean VLBI Network (KVN) based on the FPGA chip of Vertex-4 SX55 model of Xilinx company. The designed digital filter has the symmetric structure to increase the effectiveness of system by sharing the digital filter coefficient. The SFFU(Symmetric FIR Filter Unit) use the parallel processing method to perform the data processing efficiently by using the constrained system clock. In this paper, therefore, for the effective design of SFFU, the Unified Synthesis software ISE Foundation and Core Generator which has excellent GUI environment were used to overall IP core synthesis and experiments. Through the synthesis results of digital filter core, we verified the resource usage is less than 40% such as Slice LUT and achieved the maximum operation frequency is more than 260MHz. We also confirmed the SFFU would be well operated without error according to the SFFU simulation result using the Modelsim 6.1a of Mentor Graphics Company. To verify the function of SFFU, we carried out the additional simulation experiments using the pseudo signal to the Matlab software. From the comparison experimental results of simulation and the designed digital FIR filter, we confirmed the FIR filter was well performed with filter's basic function. So we verified the effectiveness of the designed FIR digital filter with symmetric structure using FPGA and VHDL.

본 논문은 Simulink 모델을 기반으로 하여 FPGA 알고리즘을 설계하는 과정을 구현하였다. Simulink 모델은 SRF-PLL 제어기법을 적용하였으며, Simulink 모델은 기본적으로 부동소수점으로 구성된다. 그러나 FPGA 구현에 필요한 VHDL 코드는 고정 소수점 변환이 필요하므로, 부동 소수점 모델을 고정 소수점으로 변환하고 두 연산 기법의 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교분석하였다.

As the technologies of semiconductor and multimedia communication have been improved. the high-quality video and the multi-channel audio have been highlighted. MPEG Audio Layer 3 decoder has been implemented as a Processor using a standard. Since the synthesis filter of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 decoder requires the most outstanding operation in the entire decoder. the synthesis filter that can reduce the amount of operation is needed for the design of the high-speed processor. Therefore, in this paper, the synthesis filter. the most important part of MPEG Audio, is materialized in FPGA using the method of DAULT (distributed arithemetic look-up table). For the design of high-speed synthesis filter, the DAULT method is used instead of a multiplier and a Pipeline structure is used. The Performance improvement by 30% is obtained by additionally making the result of multiplication of data with cosine function into the table. All hardware design of this Paper are described using VHDL (VHIC Hardware Description Language) Active-HDL 6.1 of ALDEC is used for VHDL simulation and Synplify Pro 7.2V is used for Model-sim and synthesis. The corresponding library is materialized by XC4013E and XC4020EX. XC4052XL of XILINX and XACT M1.4 is used for P&R tool. The materialized processor operates from 20MHz to 70MHz.

This paper proposes an efficient integer division algorithm for high speed FPGAs' which support built-in RAMs' and multipliers. The integer division algorithm is iterative with RAM-based LUT and multipliers, which minimizes the usage of logic fabric and connection resources. Compared with some popular division algorithms such as division by subtraction or division by multiply-subtraction, the number of iteration is much smaller, so that very low latency can be achieved with pipelined implementations. We have implemented our algorithm in the Xilinx virtex-4 FPGA with VHDL coding and have achieved 300MSPS data rate in 17bit integer division. The algorithm used less than 1/6 of logic slices, 1/4 of the built-in multiply-accumulation units, and 1/3 of the latencies compared with other popular algorithms.

In this paper, we describe a slave chip based on the Profibus-DP protocol and a system board to verify the developed slave chip. The Profibus-DP protocol is designed using VHDL and implemented on FPGA. The system board adopting the developed FPGA is designed FPGA is designed in which the firmware is implemented on Intel 8051 by using C language. Among the Profibus-DP protocols, low level layers from the physical layer to the data link layer is implemented in the form of hardware that we are able to greatly reduce the CPU load in processing protocols, and then higher layers could be processed by software. These technologies result in an IP to make terminal devices in the distributed control systems. Therefore, many digital logics as well as communication logics can be implemented onto SOC(System On a Chip) and it could be applied to various fieldbus-related areas.

High quality camera images, with good contrast and intensity, are needed to obtain the desired information. Images need to be enhanced when they are dark or bright. The histogram equalization technique, which flattens the density distribution of an image, has been widely used to enhance image contrast due to its effectiveness and simplicity. This technique, however, cannot be used to enhance images that are either too dark or too bright. In addition, it is difficult to perform histogram equalization in real-time using a general-purpose computer. This paper proposes a histogram equalization technique with AGC (Automatic Gain Control) to extend the image enhancement range. It is designed using VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) to enhance images in real-time. The system is implemented with an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). An image processing system with this FPGA is implemented. The performance of this image processing system is measured.

In this paper, we design a combined security processor, ECC, MD-5, and AES, as a SIP for cryptography of securing contents. Each SIP is modeled and designed in VHDL and implemented as a reusable macro through logic synthesis, simulation and FPGA verification. To communicate with an ARM9 core, we design a BFM(Bus Functional Model) according to AMBA AHB specification. The combined security SIP for a platform-based SoC is implemented by integrating ECC, AES and MD-5 using the design kit including the ARM9 RISC core, one million-gate FPGA. Finally, it is fabricated into a MPW chip using Magna chip $0.25{\mu}m(4.7mm{\times}4.7mm$) CMOS technology.
