Introduction to Programmable Logic Technology RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INTEGRATED MICROSYSTEMS – UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR Introduction to Programmable Logic Technology Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering 06-88-330 Digital Logic Design II Lab, Fall 2011 Instructor: Dr. M. Khalid Slides prepared by: Amir Yazdanshenas (former GA) Modified by: Dr. M. Khalid 1 RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INTEGRATED MICROSYSTEMS - UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR History • Between 70-80’s designers used SSI/MSI technology (74xx standard logic gates) to design logic circuits by putting multiple ICs (>100) together in a circuit. Later, as the size, complexity and speed of digital circuits increased, using off-the-shelf ICs was no longer practical. Companies started to produce Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) or Full-custom VLSI chips. Advantages: - Produced best results w.r.t. speed, size and cost per unit. Disadvantages: - Engineering cost was enormous! - Very time consuming! (months or years)! - Testing the chips was very difficult - Engineering errors are fatal! But still used for high volume products e.g. Pentium, ICs for cell phones, etc. 2 RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INTEGRATED MICROSYSTEMS - UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR Digital Logic Standard Progammable Full ASICs Logic Logic (FPLDs) Custom Microproce ssor TTL CMOS PLDs FPGAs CPLDs & RAM 74xx 4xxx Gate Standard Arrays Cell Technologies for Implementing Digital Logic RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INTEGRATED MICROSYSTEMS - UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR Programmable Logic Device (PLD) • A PLD is an integrated circuit (IC) in which its internal circuitry has an “UNDEFINED” function at the time of manufacture. A PLD is a collection of basic logic “ELEMENTS” with no predefined structure. • Before PLD can be used in a circuit, it must be “PROGRAMMED” (or “configured”). • Users can implement ANY logic circuit quickly and efficiently. 3 RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INTEGRATED MICROSYSTEMS - UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR Comparison of Digital Logic Design Technologies 4 RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INTEGRATED MICROSYSTEMS - UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR Types of Programmable Logic Devices • PLA • PAL • GAL • CPLD • Look-up Table (LUT) based PLDs • FPGA 5 AB + AC RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INTEGRATED MICROSYSTEMS - UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR 1- Programmable Logic Array (PLA) • Two levels of logic gates: Programmable “AND”-plane + Programmable “OR”-plane • “AND” gates produce the Product Terms and “OR” gates produce Sum of Products (SOP).

  • CHAPTER 3: Combinational Logic Design with Plds
    CHAPTER 3: Combinational Logic Design with PLDs LSI chips that can be programmed to perform a specific function have largely supplanted discrete SSI and MSI chips in board-level designs. A programmable logic device (PLD), is an LSI chip that contains a “regular” circuit structure, but that allows the designer to customize it for a specific application. PLDs sold in the market is not customized with specific functions. Instead, it is programmed by the purchaser to perform a function required by a particular application. PLD-based board-level designs often cost less than SSI/MSI designs for a number of reasons. Since PLDs provide more functionality per chip, the total chip and printed- circuit-board (PCB) area are less. Manufacturing costs are reduced in other ways too. A PLD-based board manufacturer needs to keep samples of few, “generic” PLD types, instead of many different MSI part types. This reduces overall inventory requirements and simplifies handling. PLD-type structures also appear as logic elements embedded in LSI chips, where chip count and board areas are not an issue. Despite the fact that a PLD may “waste” a certain number of gates, a PLD structure can actually reduce circuit cost because its “regular” physical structure may use less chip area than a “random logic” circuit. More importantly, the logic function performed by the PLD structure can often be “tweaked” in successive chip revisions by changing just one or a few metal mask layers that define signal connections in the array, instead of requiring a wholesale addition of gates and gate inputs and subsequent re-layout of a “random logic” design.

Some of these applications includes: random logic, bioinformatics, video and image processing, device controllers, communication encoding, modulation, and filtering, limited size systems with RAM blocks, and many more. For example, for video and image processing application it is very difficult and time consuming to use traditional HDL languages, so it’s obligatory to search for other efficient, synthesis tools to implement your design. The question is what is the best comparable language or tool to implement desired application. Also this research is very helpful for language developers to know strength points, weakness points, ease of use and efficiency of each tool or language. This research faced many challenges one of them is that there is no complete reference of all FPGA languages and tools, also available references and guides are few and almost not good. Searching for a simple example to learn some of these tools or languages would be a time consuming. This paper represents a review study or guide of almost all PLD's languages, interpreters and tools that can be used for programming, simulating and synthesizing PLD's for analog, digital & mixed signals and systems supported with simple examples.

  • Hardware Acceleration for General Game Playing Using FPGA
    Hardware acceleration for General Game Playing using FPGA (Sprzętowe przyspieszanie General Game Playing przy użyciu FPGA) Cezary Siwek Praca magisterska Promotor: dr Jakub Kowalski Uniwersytet Wrocławski Wydział Matematyki i Informatyki Instytut Informatyki 3 lutego 2020 Abstract Writing game agents has always been an important field of Artificial Intelligence research. However, the most successful agents for particular games (like chess) heavily utilize hard- coded human knowledge about the game (like chess openings, optimal search strategies, and heuristic game state evaluation functions). This knowledge can be hardcoded so deeply, that the agent’s architecture or other significant components are completely unreusable in the context of other games. To encourage research in (and to measure the quality of) the general solutions to game- agent related problems, the General Game Playing (GGP) discipline was proposed. In GGP, an agent is expected to accept any game rules expressible by a formal language and learn to play it by itself. The most common example of the GGP domain is Stanford General Game Playing. It uses Game Description Language (GDL) based on the first order logic for expressing game rules. One popular approach to GGP player construction is the Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm, which utilizes the random game playouts (game simulations with random moves) to heuristically estimate the value of game state favourness for a given player. As in any other Monte Carlo method, high number of random samples (game simulations in this case) has a crucial influence on the algorithm’s performance. The algorithm’s component responsible for game simulations is called a reasoner.

These include read‐only‐ memory (ROM) devices of several forms such as EPROM and EEPROM (Flash) memory. The first PLDs were known as programmable logic arrays (PLA), programmable array logic (PAL) and programmable logic sequencers (PLS). In recent years, generic array logic (GAL), complex PLDs (CPLD) and field‐ programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are more likely to be used. We will use an EPROM and a CPLD for this lab. ROM Read‐only‐memory is available in several forms including factory‐programmed devices (not erasable) and those that are user‐programmable and erasable (EPROM and EEPROM or FLASH memory).

  • 4 Review of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (Fpgas)
    4 Review of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) 4.1 Programmable Logic Devices Programmable logic devices (PLDs) are a general denomination for integrated cir cuits whose hardware is programmable. They are dif fer ent from micropro cessors, for example, for which the tasks are programmable but for which the hardware is fixed; the hardware itself is programmable in a PLD, so that with the same device many differ ent cir cuits (including micropro cessors) can be implemented. A major motivation for PLDs was the fact that at that time (1970s) most digital cir cuit boards were constructed with several (or many) devices from the 74xx series, as illustrated in figure 4.1, where the smaller devices are 74xx chips, which could potentially be replaced with a single PLD. To achieve that purpose, programmable AND- OR arrays were employed as illustrated in figure 4.2a, where the little circles represent programmable connections, so differ ent bool- ean functions can be implemented with the same hardware. This kind of implementation is called sum of products (SOP) because it consists of a product layer (AND gates) followed by a sum layer (OR gate). An example is shown in figure 4.2b, which implements the SOP y = a b + a′ b′ c d (black circles indicate that the wires are interconnected; of course, a logic 1 must be applied to the unused inputs of the first AND gate, while a logic 0 must be applied to at least one input of the third AND gate because it is not used in this example). The first PLDs were introduced in the 1970s, as indicated in table 4.1, which summarizes their evolution.
