Understanding Interface Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) with DataStorm DAQ FPGA

We propose the implementation of analog signals into digital signals and data communication between the ADC and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). For working on the ADC, we have used the “DataStorm DAQ” FPGA board. Designers can use any type of FPGA.

The pitfalls of mixing formal and simulation: Where trouble starts

The most effective functional verification environments employ multiple analysis technologies, where the strengths of each are combined to reinforce each other to help ensure that the device under test (DUT) behaves as specified.

An 800 Mpixels/s, ~260 LUTs Implementation of the QOI Lossless Image Compression Algorithm and its Improvement through Hilbert Scanning

This paper discusses the hardware implementation of an encoder and a decoder for the QOI lossless RGB image format. Some results are given for the AMD/Xilinx architecture, reaching over 800 Mpixels/s in Ultrascale+ and more than 4K@30 in Artix-7. A compression improvement up to ~15% is also observed when natural images are scanned along a Hilbert curve instead of the normal raster order.
