Professional FPGA

Power Workshop

The PLC2 workshop »Professional FPGA« teaches the beginner or returning user how the building blocks of a Spartan™/Virtex™ device work and in which way the available resources can optimally be used.
This class emphasizes the description of the fundamental architectural elements of the recent Spartan™/Virtex™ FPGA technologies. After an initial overview, a detailed discussion of the different functional blocks such as for example the Configurable Logic Block (CLB), I/O-Block (IOB) for source- and system synchronous signal transmission in single or double data rate modes, DSP, etc.
Naturally, due to its special importance, the clock distribution system gets discussed in-depth. Moreover, dedicated hardware blocks (e.g., GTP and PCIe®) get briefly discussed. Besides, adapted coding techniques are a topic, to get the most possible out of synthesis by using optimum coding for the target technology. The underlying instructions of the programming language VHDL as well as the standard proceeding for implementing an FPGA design are not the topic of this workshop. Please refer to PLC2 workshops like »Compact VHDL for Synthesis«, »Compact VHDL for Simulation« or »Professional VHDL«.

Due to accompanying exercises, the course offers in-depth and practice-oriented training.
