TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR DESIGNING CONTROL SYSTEMS USING PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICES

摘要

The paper presents modern programmable logic devices and design methodologies with appropriate tools reference. It briefly shows enhancements introduced in the architecture of FPGA and its influence on circuit capabilities. The paper presents also the design process from idea to functional implementation. It discusses algorithmic and functional approaches to design. Abstraction level and transaction mechanisms are shown as a method of hiding details without compromising design functionality. Finally tools for different design approaches and design environment requirements are presented.
