ADVME Digital Signal Processign Framework – IP Library For Seamless Algorithm Integration

  • Customer Use-Case:
    • An algorithm has already been developed and validated
    • The deployment into an FPGA requires special know-how and tremendous effort
  • The framework includes the following FPGA IPs:
    • Tested ADC/DAC IPs to interface to commercially available components with SPI, LVDS, and JESD204B interface
    • IP to seamlessly implement a control state machine with pre-defined commands
    • IP to support FT245 style asynchronous/synchronous FIFO for data transfer
    • IP to implement proper algorithm synchronization with both external and internal triggers
  • Our methodology:
    1. Our engineering team defines a system-level architecture in collaboration with the Customer
    2. Once the architecture is agreed we configure the required IPs to meet the design requirements
    3. For custom development, we provide separate effort estimation and do the coding in-house
    4. A self-checking testbench is developed to allow system and integration level simulation
    5. After simulation, the system is verified on a HIL testbench
    6. The Customer team receives regular updates including sources and configured IDE project – at major milestones we provide tested releases
  • Target FPGAs:
    1. Xilinx 7 series and Ultrascale devices
    2. Microchip FPGA devices
    3. Intel FPGA devices
