Field Programmable Gate Array: It's like a blank chip: Any digital circuit you can think of can be fit into an FPGA. FPGAs come in sizes from 1000 logic gates to 10 million logic gates. It used to be that FPGA designs were done in schematic format, however, today's FPGA designs usually use a hardware description language(HDL) to define the circuitry within the part. The sign FPGA design is written entirely in VHDL.

Re: Numerically-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (NCXO) or Digitally-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (DCXO) Designs

Yes, the MityDSP has an integrated Xilinx Spartan 3 XC3S200 FPGA. This FPGA is the gateway between the DSP and the edge connector for all the I/O to the custom I/O card. This design provides for maximum I/O flexibility, and also positions the FPGA to perform hardware acceleration for critical processing-intensive functions.

Yes, the FPGA is 100% available for programming to support your application. Some gates will be dedicated to the cores used in the MityDSP to support standard I/O functions (serial, USB, Ethernet). The remainder of the gates (generally the majority) will be available for custom firmware.

The sign uses a XCV300-BG432 Virtex FPGA made by Xilinx. It has (supposedly) 300,000 gates. The chip is packaged in a 432-'pin' ball grid array. The FPGA rides on an adapter module which provides 3.3V and 2.5V for power through two tiny Micrel 39100 series linear regulators. The footprint of the adapter is a 299-pin pin grid array compatible with a XC4028 pin-out. The design is loaded into the FPGA at power-up from a XC18V04 serial flash based PROM.

FPGA is a very powerful part for implementing various logic in your project, and we recommend using one for most projects. For information on how to implement and use an FPGA, please see the Xilinx Primer.

The simplest way is to program a simple gate to the I/O pins and check the output. For instance, you may add an AND gate with the inputs and the output connected to I/O pins. Then by applying known inputs to the pins, you can check that the output is what you expect.

hy I need a code example for spartan 3 series in Xilinx regarding the implementation of a PID alghoritm

I use the Xilinx ISE 5.1 tool suite in combination with the Synplicity VHDL synthesizer, Synplify. Each FPGA manufacturer has their own tool suite. Most tool suites also have the ability to interface with third-party VHDL or Verilog synthesizers.

For FPGAs that provide the same functionality the place and route time is typically several hours, and usually the engineer needs a detailed knowledge of the EDA tools. Running picoPlatic is always a single button press. No additional knowledge is required.

We have several customers engaged in the early-access program for the Spartan-3AN platform for a variety of high volume applications.

There are lots of such designs out there. From an absolutely minimal design which fits into an 32 Macrocell CPLD to fully featured PIC, 8051 or SPARC cores. It think it wouldn't have been intersting to make yet another such core.

Altera has a "PCI design kit" available which includes a disk containing macrofunctions for the FLEX8000, MAX7000, MAX9000 and FlashLogic families of parts. There are macros for masters and targets optimized for each family. All four families have members which are are certified as compliant by PCI SIG.

Yes, the same Esterel Studio specification runs with no modification on the following tools: Synopsys Design Compiler FPGA, Xilinx ISE, Actel Libero???, Synplicity Synplify??, Synopsys Design Compiler??, Mentor LeonardoSpectrum???, plus Aptix, or Celaro emulators. ^
