A high speed graphics processing application using FPGAs

Abstract

This graphics processing application shows that high level design methods using VHDL or Verilog HDL input with synthesis tools are an excellent choice for FPGA-based systems. The 50 MHz design integrates several complex, high signal count functions in a single FPGA, all described in VHDL code. The advantages of high level FPGA design are not limited to this industry. They apply to any market where time-to-market and ease-of-design are important. The benefits usually far outnumber and outweigh any risks associated with these design techniques.<>
