How to simulate VHDL Project into TINA Software

In this article will be shown how to make a modular or circuit using VHDL code and then it will be simulated using TINA Software. The tools used in this article are XILINX ISE 14.7 and Tina Softwares. The first level, write a VHDL code using XILINX ISE 14.7 and save as format of .VHD […]

VHDL for Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) MCP3202

The Analog to digital converter (ADC) is functioned to convert an analog signal into a digital signal. In this case, the signal conversion is processed using FPGA. There are some types of ADC in the signal conversion, i.e. Successive approximation ADC, Dual slope ADC, Sigma-delta ADC, Flash ADC, and so on. In this article presents […]

2-1 Multiplexer Using VHDL

A multiplexer connects data from 2n inputs to the outputs, where n is a number of inputs selector. Generally, the multiplexer is written as mux and it is a digital switch. Example of this device is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Mux 2-1 VHDL code for the 2-1 Mux as written below, LIBRARY ieee […]

VHDL & FPGA

VHDL VHDL stands for VHSIC Hardware Description Language, in the beginning, it’s just a contact simulation of US Department of Defense. VHDL is similarly with the ADA programming language (Pascal-like) that is now standardized by IEEE standard (1076-1987/1993). The description language is now popular in Europe and supports all tool vendors of computer-aided design (CAD). […]

Notes for FPGA Designer

VHDL and Verilog are not a programming language FPGA and CPLD don’t execute VHDL and Verilog VHDL and Verilog are used to describe a behavioral of the required hardware Execution of VHDL and Verilog known as synthesis not compile Synthesis of VHDL and Verilog will be generated into logic by a tool Always check the […]

FPGA dan ASIC

FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) adalah jenis rangkaian terpadu (IC) yang terdiri dari matriks sel-sel logika yang dapat dikonfigurasi oleh pengguna agar berfungsi sebagai rangkaian  yang sesuai dengan yang diharapkan. Implementasinya dapat digunakan untuk menerapkan algoritma, prosesor, filter digital atau interrupt controller berbasis FPGA. FPGA yang mempunyai kapasitas yang lebih besar, memungkinkan bagi pengguna untuk […]

Memulai Belajar FPGA

Bagaimana memulai belajar FPGA? Perangkat Lunak Software khusus diperlukan untuk mengembangkan dan mengkonfigurasi FPGA diproduksi oleh vendor FPGA, seperti: Xilinx Integrated Software Environment (ISE) dapat digunakan untuk mengkonfigurasi FPGA dari Xilinx. Altera Max+Plus II dan Quartus II digunakan untuk mengkonfigurasi FPGA dari Altera. Perangkat lunak ini tidaklah murah, namun vendor Xilinx dan Altera mendistribusikan versi […]
