There is great demand today for real-time computer vision systems, with applications including image enhancement, target detection and surveillance, autonomous navigation, and scene reconstruction. These operations generally require extensive computing power; when multiple conventional processors and custom gate arrays are inappropriate, due to either excessive cost or risk, a class of devices ...

Abstract This paper presents a new stochastic model for two dimensional layouts of large size. Two problems are addressed: (i) Under the condition that the number of wires emanating from a block is Poisson distributed, determine the distribution of channel width, thus estimating the average channel width. (ii) Given T tracks for each channel, determine the success probability of routing an M×M ...

The field programmable gate array is the fastest growing technology. The bio-impedance measurement system is implemented in reconfigurable field programmable gate array hardware. The design of bio-impedance measurement system using Xilinx system generator is more convenient and cheaper for revising, if the Bio-impedance measurement system requires parameters changes in practical use, since no n...

Every user of programmable logic at some point faces the question: “How large a device will I require to fit my design?” In an effort to provide guidance to their users, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufacturers, including Xilinx, describe the capacity of FPGA devices in terms of “gate counts.” “Gate counting” involves measuring logic capacity in terms of the number of 2-input NAND gat...

Design alternatives for DSP solutions As a designer of Digital Signal Processing systems, you have a large number of choices to implement your solution. Each solution has its strengths and weaknesses. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology and help you understand how FPGAs can be used for DSP system implementation. In the following sec...

A new Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) architecture is described. This architecture includes a number of novel features not found in currently available FPGAs. It is believed to ooer a signii-cantly improved logic density in some common applications. This paper describes the development of the FPGA and looks at the mapping onto it of some interesting application circuit elements. The design...
