Final Year Project
Term Projects
Implementation of Digital Signal Processor on FPGA
Implementation of Analog Devices ADSP-2181, a core was developed with ADSP-2181 instruction set except Idle and Nop using Verilog HDL. Analog devices provide VDSP 3.5 for instruction set simulator. Basic Core included MAC, ALU, DAGS, Instruction decoder and Controller. Core was tested for results using an FIR filter code and compared with results using Matlab.
Stability analysis of Sigma Delta Modulators performed Matlab Simulations to analyze their stability under various initial conditions.
16-Bit RISC machine using Verilog HDL. State Machine based with effort to pipeline it.
Infra Red Transceiver using OP-505 phototransistor and Parallel Port, Buffered Infra-Red signals & forwarded per selection from PC.
