An Efficient approach for Design and Testing of FPGA Programming using LabVIEW

10.11591/ijres.v4.i3.pp192-200
Naresh Kumar Reddy , N. Suresh
Programming of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have long been the domain of engineers with VHDL or Verilog expertise.FPGA’s have caught the attention of algorithm developers and communication researchers, who want to use FPGAs to instantiate systems or implement DSP algorithms. These efforts however, are often stifled by the complexities of programming FPGAs. RTL programming in either VHDL or Verilog is generally not a high level of abstraction needed to represent the world of signal flow graphs and complex signal processing algorithms. This paper describes the FPGA Programs using Graphical Language rather than Verilog, VHDL with the help of LabVIEW and features of the LabVIEW FPGA environment.

Development of BSP for ARM9 Evaluation Board

10.11591/ijres.v4.i3.pp161-172
Vinayak Pandit K. , Sanket Dessai , Shilpa Chaudhari
With an increasing usage of ARM9 core for different kinds of applications ranging from data acquisition to Mobile application, there arises the need for developing ARM9 based board. To bring up this board, board supporting package (BSP) is must. Board supporting package virtualizes the platform hardware so that the different drivers can be ported easily on any hardware. The boot loader is the initial stage of firmware, which initializes the hardware components presents on the board. A universal Bootloader is chosen and is to be customized with respect to target board. In the later section bootloader is interfaced to the kernel which is obtained form an authorized distributor under general purpose license. The customized board specific routines as well drivers are ported onto the hardware. Then the compiled kernel image is ported onto the target board using a debugger and SAM-BA utility. Linux kernel has seen major releases; the basic architecture of the Linux kernel has remained more or less unchanged. The latest 2.6 version of Linux kernel is ported onto target hardware. Kernel support for many architectures and high-end I/O devices gives the independence to choose appropriate hardware for developing system. The bootloader customization is the critical step, which involves a lot of modifications in the header files. BSP components such as bootloader, kernel is compiled using GNU tool chain; obtained image is ported on target using debugger. BSP porting is a very complex task, which required knowledge of hardware and software control sequence and boot strategy of the controller.

10.11591/ijres.v4.i3.pp201-208
Noopur Astik
Dynamic partial reconfiguration has evolved as a very prominent state of art for efficient area utilization of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) as well as significant reduction in its overall power consumption when properly used to lessen the idle logic on FPGA. It provides desired results even as the computational complexity increases in the field of Digital Signal Processing. This paper explains Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR) with an example of Finite Impulse response (FIR) filter of order 10. Initially RTL coding for Direct Form FIR structure is written in Verilog in fixed point format for low pass and high pass filter modules using ISE Design suite. Functioning of the both the modules is verified individually through hardware co-simulation on ZYBO (Zynq Board) from Digilent using Black Box from System Generator. Finally dynamic partial reconfigurable FIR filter with low pass and high pass as reconfigurable modules is implemented on ZYBO using PlanAhead tool. Final comparison of resource utilization with and without DPR is presented

10.11591/ijres.v4.i3.pp173-177
M. Anitha , J.Princy Joice , Rexlin Sheeba.I
Adders are of fundamental importance in a wide variety of digital systems. This paper presents a novel bit block structure which computes propagate signals as carry strength. Power consumption is one of the most significant parameters of carry select adder.The proposed method aims on GDI(Gate Diffusion Input) Technique. Modified GDI is a novel technique for low power digital circuits design further to reduce the swing degradation problem. This techniques allows reduction in power consumption, carry propagation delay and transistor count of the carry select adder.This technique can be used to reduce the number of transistors compared to conventional CSLA and made comparison with known conventional adders which gives that the usage of carry-strength signals allows high-speed adders to be realised at lower cost as well as consuming lower power than previous designs. Hence, this paper we are concentrating on the area level &we are reducing the power using modified GDI logic.

In order to improve the productivity and the consistency of its maintenance strategies, the industrial world is based on different techniques and tools developed to ensure safe operation and the supervision of production systems. In fact, dependability evaluation is crucial to controlling the risks associated with system failure, and for this reason, it is one of the fundamental steps in automated system design. In this paper, we present firstly the basic concepts for the study of dependability as well as functional systems analysis. Thus, we present the method SADT (Structured Analysis Design technique). Given the ineffectiveness of methods that are currently exploited are not appropriate because the level of complexity of such industrial systems, we propose in the first the Safe-SADT method which allows the explicit formalization of functional interaction, the identification of the characteristic values affecting complex system dependability, the quantification of RAMS parameters (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) for the system’s operational architecture. Secondly, a methodology for designing supervisory production systems has been presented and has been applied on an example of a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system of a thermal power plant. Finally, a model of operating safety and supervision of a production system is proposed.

Sandeep Kumar Sunori , Pradeep Kumar Juneja , Anamika Bhatia Jain
MPC is a computer based technique that requires the process model to anticipate the future outputs of that process. An optimal control action is taken by MPC based on this prediction. The MPC is so popular since its control performance has been reported to be best among other conventional techniques to control the multivariable dynamical plants with various inputs and outputs constraints. In the present work the control of boiler turbine process with three manipulated variables namely fuel flow valve position, steam control valve position and feed water flow valve position and three controlled variables namely drum pressure, output power and drum water level deviation [8] has been attempted using MPC technique. Boiler turbine process is very complex and nonlinear multivariable process. A linearized model obtained using Taylor series expansion around operating point has been used.

Baharak Mehrdel , Azlan Abdul Aziz , Mahdiar Hossein Ghadiri
In this paper we present four simple analytical threshold voltage model for short- channel and length of saturation velocity region (LVSR) effect that takes into account the built – in potential of the source and drain channel junction, the surface potential and the surface electric field effect on double – gate graphene nanoribbon transistors. Four established models for surface potential, lateral electric field, LVSR and threshold voltage are presented. These models are based on the easy analytical solution of the two dimensional potential distribution in the graphene and Poisson equation which can be used to obtain surface potential, lateral electric field, LVSR and threshold voltage. These models give a closed form solution of the surface potential and electrical field distribution as a function of structural parameters and drain bias. Most of analytical outcomes are shown to correlate with outcomes acquired by Matlab simulation and the end model applicability to the published silicon base devices is demonstrated.

The monitoring of a physically challenged patient’s activities is a crucial and difficult task for the medical professionals. The design and development of a multimodal- input and output wireless system with two sensors and three actuators that can be used for just monitoring or for both monitoring and stimulating are discussed in this research. Touch and tilt sensors at the input part of the system attached to Zigbee modules communicate in a wireless manner with voice, vibration and light actuators connected to Zigbee modules at the output part. The hardware and the software parts are designed and integrated in such a way that a new sensor at the input or a new actuator at the output can be included or excluded based on the needs of the patient. It is shown how to design and develop sensors. In an application programming interface communication mode, 3 XBee series 1 modules send and receive data in a wireless manner. The prototype of the system was tested with promising results in the case of the patients with inattention disorder. This system can be used for monitoring the activities of a patient and also for actuating certain stimulus in the patient side in case of necessity.

10.11591/ijece.v5i5.pp957-966
V. Ramesh , Y. Kusuma Latha
In this paper, interleaved power factor correction (PFC) boost converter based control strategy for BLDC motor has been Proposed. The converter exhibits the characteristics of voltage doublers for duty greater than 0.5. The switching losses and losses during reverse recovery operation are considerably reduced in this proposed topology. This is due reduction in switching voltages due to voltage doubler mode. The proposed topology has high efficiency compared to conventional counterpart due to slight increase in conduction losses. In this paper, the proposed PFC control Strategy has been applied to a six switch and four switch VSI fed BLDC Motor drive for effective torque ripple minimization. A comparison is also made between the six switch and Four Switch VSI fed PMBLDC Motor drive.
