Few years ago, microprocessors manufacturers competed to get the faster processor. High speed means more tasks can be executed in the same amount of time, but also, means higher power consumption. To improve this, the voltages of the core starts…
When we look into communicating an FPGA with a computer, the first interface that we can find is UART, but this interface has several limitations in terms of speed. In order to transfer high amount of data between the CPU…
Digital signal processing can be used in almost all engineering field, from seismology, to obtain the distance where an earthquake has been generated, to data science, but these areas use digital signal processing as a way to obtain the real…
Manage an ADC is something that any engineer dedicated to signal processing has to do very often. This task, in general, use to be no much complicated, unless you are using a high-speed ADC with LVDS interface or something similar,…
On the project developed on the last 2 posts, to verify the behavior of the filter, we had used the data acquired from the ILA. Data was processed on MATLAB with a script where we read the csv, and verify…
A few years ago, FPGAs were used almost exclusively for communication systems. On the other hand, DSPs are used to execute digital signal processing algorithms. The reason is the hardware components that were integrated. FPGAs, were based on flip-flops, LUTs…
After a few post dedicated exclusively to the FPGA, on this post I going to talk about a technique that can help us to improve the ADC resolution. To study this technique, we will use as a example the ADC…
When we need a FIR filter, in general, or at least in my case, we already have a FIR filter HDL, where we only need to change the filter order to the application needs, in most cases this configuration can…
On the last post, we talk about the using of DMA to send data between PL and PS on SOC or MPSOC devices. The example that I proposed, was a kind of FFT compute accelerator, where a signal stored on…
When we are working with a SOC or MPSOC, is very common the data interchange between the PL and the APU, or between the PL and the RPU. To do that, the Zynq platform gives us several interfaces between the…
