compareThis block compares the current angle with

the desired oneIncrement the current angle according the

result

calculatePerform the matrix calculationUses the result from the compare block

LUTLut is Decimal at it’s source – conversion to

binary took place according to architecture needs

Simulation environment

SynthesisChip: Cyclon llSynthesizer: quartos 12.1

Synthesis issuesThe design was modified for resources

optimizationPin planner was done and led was programed

to show calculation result – counter clock

Synthesis statists

The resources usage is approx. the same as the Altera build in block

Clk frequency ~120MHz

Limited by longest path Was improved dramatically over the processThe pipeline is improving the frequency by

~30 times

System Latency is 30 clk cycles

Pipeline appearance

Usage of the cyclon2 logic and cell and registers

Cyclone 2 vs cyclone 3

Signal TapThe results was checked and found correctExpected vals came from the simulation

environmentThis is the way to test the “real” system

output

Summery & conclusionsArchitectureSimulation environmentHigh level coding not always come in one

hand with FPGAOther synthesis programs might give better

resultsimportance of clk frequency
