In the last post we talked about digital control loops. In short, we talked about the elements that we can find in digital, or analog, control loops. The first of them is an element to acquire the difference between the…
In this blog I have tried to show you different tools, usually in the field of digital signal processing, so you can select the correct tools for your projects. This time we will use the tools that we have used…
Many times we need to manage low frequency signals sampled at high rates. This can be due to the need of detect edges in that signals as fast as possible, for example if we are using that signal to protect…
While we are driving on the way to our jobs, we have the 99.9% of our attention to the road, but I am sure that the other 0.1% of our attention is focus on the radio. Radio has been with…
If we are working with analog signals, is very common that we will need an analog level for set an offset if we are working with a bipolar signal, or maybe we will need an analog level to set a…
There are many cases where we will need a processor inside our FPGA. In my case, soft cores are very useful when I have to implement in the FPGA a manager for an external device using high level interfaces like…
This will be the first post of 2022, and I want it to be some different. Time ago I have been thinking write about how I started to use FPGA and also what I expect of them for the future.…
In these rare days when getting a development board with a new FPGA is increasingly difficult, a new board has come into my hands. The board is the Icicle Kit, a Single Board Computer (SBC) from Microchip Technology. It is…
Few weeks ago Dialog Semiconductor announced a new series of FPGAs named as ForgeFPGA. The highlight of these new devices are not a high processing power, the highest speed or the big they are, the main highlights of these devices…
When I am working in a design for an FPGA, which involves the acquisition of any signal, I usually have to design a filter before using that signal in the control loop, or a protection. If the use of this…
