Flash ADC priority encoder vhdl design

The priority encoder is useful in many application not only in digital circuit but also in the mixed circuit such as analog to digital converter(ADC). For example Flash type ADC uses priority encoder to select which of the different inputs should be sampled and encoded into digital digital bits. The following shows how Flash type ADC works first then VHDL model for the priority encoder is developed.

There are different types of ADC and one of them is Parallel Comparator ADC or Flash ADC. The Flash ADC converts analog signal to digital signal very fast compared to other types of ADC such as Dual Slope ADC or Successive Approximation Register(SAR) ADC. That is its conversion time is small. The disadvantage of Flash ADC is that if the resolution is to be increased then the number of comparator has to be increased which makes the converter bulky.

The Flash ADC can be described as being composed of 3 different constituents- the Voltage Divider Resistor(VDR) network, the Comparators(op-amp) and the priority encoder.

The VDR network is used to create voltage reference with which the input analog signal is compared using the comparator. The voltage reference points is created using same value resistor and the number of the reference points to be created is decided by the number of digital bits one wants to produce. As an example, if n=3 bits is used for the digital signal output then the number of the voltage reference point is 2^3-1= 7. Next the input analog signal which is to be converted into digital signal is done by fedding the analog signal to the inputs of the comparators. The analog signal is fed into the non-inverting terminal of the op-amp and the voltage references are connected to the inverting terminal of the op-amp. The output of those op-amp becomes high in which the input signal voltage is greater than the reference voltage. If there are 7 op-amps comparator, then the analog signal voltage becomes greater than the reference voltage starting from the 3rd op-amp then the rest of the op-amp output also becomes high. That is the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th op-amp output are high.

The priority encoder gives priority to that op-amp output which is first activated high, in this case the 3rd op-amp. Then the priority encoder outputs digital bits corresponding to the digit 5.

Thus one use of priority encoder is in the ADC converter. Now the following describes how a priority encoder is modelled in VHDL.



The input to the priority encoder for the 3 bits digital signal output from the ADC are the 7 outputs from the comparator(op-amps). Depending upon which output gets activated first we produce corresponding digital outputs.

Let Cinp be the input to the priority encoder and Dcode be the digital codes. Then the entity declaration of this priority encoder becomes-

entity priority_encoder is
    port(
    Cinp : in std_logic_vector(7 downto 0);
    Dcode : out std_logic_vector(2 downto 0)
    );
end priority_encoder;

Next we need to create the architecture for the priority encoder. The following is the VHDL code for the flash type ADC priority encoder:

architecture priority_encoder_arch of priority_encoder is
begin
Dcode <= "111" when (Cinp(7)=1) else
"110" when (Cinp(6)=1) else
"101" when (Cinp(5)=1) else
"100" when (Cinp(4)=1) else
"011" when (Cinp(3)=1) else
"010" when (Cinp(2)=1) else
"001" when (Cinp(1)=1) else
"000"; 
end priority_encoder_arch;

Linear Block encoding explanation via Block Diagram

The process of Linear Block encoding and decoding is presented in block diagram form to show the process involved in encoding and decoding.

Linear block code encoder accepts k bits of data blocks and encodes them into n bits of block called codes. The rate of transmission is R = k/n. It is the most simplest form of channel encoding.

The block diagram below illustrates how the channel encoding in the transmitter side and decoding at the receiving side are performed.

At the transmitter encoder, Data to be encoded is multiplied by the Generator Matrix G. The generator matrix may or may not be in systematic form. A Generator Matrix not in systematic form can always be manipulated via appropriate row operation to get systematic form of the matrix. The switch shows that either the non-systematic form of systematic form of G can be multiplied with the data sequence D to get the code words C.

Now the code words C have been generated and the data is protected. These codewords are entered to the communication channel like the AWGN channel. This block has been shown to illustrate that there is a channel that might corrupt the codewords. After passing through the channel we get received code words r.
r = c+e
where, e is the possible error introduced by the channel.

This received signal r is multiplied by the transposed parity check matrix Ht. t means transposed. Ht matrix is created from the generator matrix. The various steps to get Ht from G or the Gsys(depending upon initial G assumption) is also shown in the block diagram.

If G is not in the systematic form, then it is converted to systematic form Gsys via row operation. Then from Gsys knowledge we can know the Parity sub matrix P. We transpose P to get its transposed form Pt. Then from the knowledge of Pt we can get the H matrix and by taking the transpose of H we get Ht.

This Ht is now multiplied by the received code vector r get the Syndrome vector S. S is then analyzed to get information about error and correct error if possible. First if S is zero then there is no error and we can strip off the parity bits to get the message data D. Second if S is non-zero than it indicates that there is error. S vector sequence is compared with the column of Hsys to see if there is any match. If there is match in the jth column for example then the jth bit of S is in error and this is then corrected. Then the parity bits are stripped off from the received vector r to get the message data back.

Sampling process illustration in Matlab

Here a simple example of sampling process of a signal in matlab is provided. Sampling is effectively applying pulse signal to a transistor that turns it on and off. In matlab this can be stimuated by applying a pulses to an input signal.

Here first impulse(h) is generated using filter and then applied to a sinuoid signal(x) to get the sampled signal(y).

The following line generates an impulse response h.

% generate discrete time impulse signal

a = [1 0 0 0 -1];

d = [1 zeros(1,127)];

h = filter(1,a,d);

n = 0:127;

The following line generates a cosine signal

% generate cosine signal

x = cos(2*pi*n/32);

% generate frequency response for signal x

[X,w] = freqz(x,1,128,whole);

% scale w for plotting properly

wp = fftshift(w)/pi-1;

The frequency spectrum of cosine signal is plotted below,

% plot frequency response of x

figure(1)

plot(wp,X)

Now the cosine signal x is multiplied by h which is effectively the process of sampling.

% sampling with 8 samples/ cycle

y = x.*h;

This sampled signal y is then plotted to get its frequency spectrum

Y = fft(y);

figure(2)

plot(wp,Y);

The overall process is shown in the graph which shows signals and its spectrum at various stages:

The overall matlab code is below,

% generate discrte time impulse signal

a = [1 0 0 0 -1];

d = [1 zeros(1,127)];

h = filter(1,a,d);

n = 0:127;

H = fft(h);

% generate cosine signal

x = cos(2*pi*n/32);

% generate frequency response for signal x

[X,w] = freqz(x,1,128,whole);

% scale w for plotting properly

wp = fftshift(w)/pi-1;

% sampling with 8 samples/ cycle

y = x.*h;

Y = fft(y);

How to design a code converter using VHDL

Code converter finds application in digital system design and in this blog it is shown how to design a code converter using VHDL. There are many instances that requires code conversion for example in communication system encoding. For example binary to excess 3 code or binary to gray code or gray code to excess 3 code.

The conversion of codes from one to another can be done in different ways. One way is to construct state diagram. Another way is simply to use case statements or if-then-elsif or select statements. There may be also other ways.

Here it is shown how case statement and select statement can be using to convert binary code to excess 3 code.

The first thing to know is what and how they need to converted. 4bit excess 3 code is obtained by adding 0011 to the 4 bit binary value.

It is helpful to construct a truth table for the conversion.

There are 16 codes listed above, but here only 8 codes will be illustrated as this is enough to illustrate how to implement the conversion.

Let x and y be the input and output respectively, that is x is the binary 4 bit input and y is the 4 bit excess 3 code output.

So the entity declaration would look this,

entity code_converter is
    port(
    x : in std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
    y : out std_logic_vector(3 downto 0)
    )
end code_converter;

Now to the question of How to design a code converter using VHDL?

First it is shown how select statement can be used to do the code conversion. The architecture for the code converter using the select statment is as follows,

architecture Select_RTL of code_converter is

begin
        with x select
        y <= "0011" when "0000",
        "0100" when "0001",
        "0101" when "0010",
        "0110" when "0011",
        "0111" when "0100",
        "1000" when "0101",
        "1001" when "0110",
        "1010"    when "0111",
        "XXXX" when others;
               
end Select_RTL;

Now the same code conversion can be achieved using case statement as follows,

architecture Case_RTL of code_converter is

begin
    process (x)
    begin
        case x is
            when "0000" => y <= "0011";
            when "0001"    => y <= "0100";
            when "0010"    => y <= "0101";
            when "0011" => y <= "0110";
            when "0100" => y <= "0111";
            when "0101" => y <= "1000";
            when "0110" => y <= "1001";
            when "0111" => y <= "1010";
            when others => y <= "XXXX";
        end case;
       
    end process;
end Case_RTL;

Yet there is another method that can be used to implement this conversion. It is much simpler than the above two methods.

architecture add_RTL of code_converter is

signal y_int : integer;

begin
    y_int <= to_integer(unsigned(x)) + 3;
    y <= std_logic_vector(to_unsigned(y_int,4));

end add_RTL;

In this method, the input binary x was converted to integer and 3 was added to it. The result was converted back to binary bits.

See the tutorial- http://appliedelectronicsengineering.blogspot.com/2014/10/how-to-convert-stdlogicvector-to.html to see how to convert between different data types.

So in this way we can use different methods to design a code converted using VHDL.

Approaches to analyze experimentally collected data in Matlab

If you were to analyze two or more random set of data whose dependencies you dont know, how would you proceed to find the relationship of the random variables? In Matab there are many build in function and GUI tools to do this. One is to calculate statistics of which correlation, covariances are important and there is curve fitting with/or regression.

Typical when you have sets of random data, you would see the closeness of the data distribution which is done through correlation(covariance) and/or cross-correlation. The when you see any relation between any two data sets you would proceed to curve fitting.

One way to find the relationship is to find correlation between the data sets. The data set could be linearly or non-linearly relationship. Another similar statistical parameter is the covariance gives the strength of the correlation between the data sets.

This statistics can be calculated in matlab using the following 3 functions-
1. corrcoef
2. cov
3. xcorr

The first corrcoef calculates the correlation coefficient, the second cov function calculates the covariance and the third function xcorr calculates cross-correlation.

Another method of statistical analysis of random data is curve fitting. In this method, a polynomial relates input and output variables via polynomial coefficient.

A generalized polynomial equation is as follows,

y = a1 x^n + a2 x^n-1 +a3 x^n-2 + ......

The Curve fitting problem can be attacked in matlab in two ways. The first is through programming using build in functions polyfit and polyvar and others. The second approach is to use the build in Curve Fittting GUI tool.

Curve Fitting using Programming approach:

There are two matlab function which is used to analyze such polynomial equation- polyfit and polyval.

polyfit calculates the coefficients like a1, a2 .. in the above equation from data x and y. And, polyval calculates y from coefficients and x.

Curve Fitting GUI tool:

Yet another way of analyzing your data is the interactive fitting using the matlab basic fitting tool. Lets illustrate an example on how to use the basic fitting tool in matlab.

Let say you have done some experiment and collected some random data.

To opent the basic fitting tool you need to open the plot window by typing

>> plot(data)

in the matlab command prompt, where data is your random data.

Here is an example of such a plot of random data. Your plot will be different than this.

The basic fitting tool is in the Tools>Basic Fitting in the toolbar.

When you click the -> arrow in the above figure then you will get the complete window as shown below,

This tool window basically allows you to

• Select various interpolation algorithms- spline interpolant and polynomial interpolant
• Plot data in various forms
• Compute equation
• compute coefficients, residuals
• export the data

and others

The basic procedure here is now to select the interpolation algorithm that you would like to work with such as cubic or spline. Then you select the sub-option for those algorithms. Then the matlab program tries to fit the data that you have provided.

Entertainment

Entertainment can come in different forms. Whether it is something good or bad, we just need it our lives. Let me take that back. Some people do not watch television at all either because they made it their own choice or they are too busy to sit down and relax.

I do enjoy watching some of the shows on the Discovery Channel. I probably spend time watching television than doing any other activity. Myth Busters is a good show and Dirty Jobs is just a mess to watch, and Cash Cabs is game to earn money. Im somewhat of a couch potato, but I have those days where I just want to lay in bed or on the couch and just watch television. That is being lazy, but sometimes it just a time to relax and forget about everything that is going on in life. Sometimes I watch too much television. Four to six hours a day is spent watching television. I know TV is not good at times depending on the shows and whatever else can mess up the mind. Usually I watch something that seems interesting after watching the movie or show for ten minutes, and then I may keep watching it. I can recall the classic cartoons that use to come on television and now they are all gone and being replaced. Im sure you all know the cartoons that were out and popular. Now cartoons are involving into more crazy crap and nonsense, but a good laugh is good for everyone. I enjoy watching a good movie. Sometimes I can watch a good horror movie which is just a mind game mixed with suspense in my opinion.

When it comes down to music genre, I normally listen to the radio. I dont listen to everything because I find that there are some music and songs that I do not like. For example, I do not listen to all rap music because of the explicit language and all the other negative elements of that genre. Ill probably find myself turning on the radio listening to FM 100. I am not a fan of country music. I do like to listen to smooth jazz (one person in particular Kenny G). Im pretty much opened to listening to music and songs that are good and tend to calm me down. I tend to not play music too loud because everyone does not like loud music, so I play it at a minimum volume level which is what I prefer at times. I find it good to have music playing while Im doing homework or writing.

I do not listen to anybodys music or something that just does not make sense. Some people do have talent and others can not sing. Sometimes I may watch American Idol whenever I think to flip to the channel. I mostly like the part when they start voting, but it is funnier to see them audition and get turned around. Why would you travel miles away just to see Randy to tell a person that he or she can not go to Hollywood although the person says they can sing when they actually cant sing. If you can sing, you can sing, but if you know you can not hit a high note and not wreck a song, then you should not waste money to travel to another city just to get rejected. That does not make any sense at all. Entertainment is nice I guess because it keeps everyone from being bored and it gives us something to laugh about.

Getting Back on Track with Better School Assessment

When one person thinks about school assessment, they will probably come to the conclusion of student tests. Many questions arise when school officials are testing the students and figuring out what they have learned during the year. Teaching pattern is different from school to school. With this said, students will find out how much they know after they take the test. Most school educators are on the path of trying to restructure the education system. Every student learns the material that is taught in the classroom differently. Making higher standards to raise the bar of high expectation is slowly happening across many states. As years pass the curriculum will be different than the past education system.

Reforming education may sound like drastic change since it is upgrading the standards to higher curriculum. Sometimes change can be good whereas the satisfied people will want everything the same. I will not say that changing the way students learn is bad. The No Child Left Behind Act has left out the cultural arts. Subjects such as social studies and science have been left out to only focus on mathematical and reading skills. In order to give a student a well-rounded, quality education, they should be taught everything to the fullest by the teacher. The No Child Left Behind could be used as an alternative curriculum rather than the one used by the local school district.

Just bluntly saying the law signed by President Bush is outright wrong is not the right way to approach this issue. Giving out more assessments will help out if it is done in a good way. There is nothing wrong testing students to see how well did in given school year. The real reason to testing the students is to find out how to better prepare our students to be able to think critically and be success. To restructure the education system is to make changes that will benefit the students as well as students. If the parents are not trained or not active in their child’s academic life, than there are failing on their half of the game.

Giving school assessments can be good to see how a school district is doing and if they need an improvement in a certain area. The issues that are going on in schools now are limiting the teachers to be able to take full control of teaching their students. Solving the other issues that are roadblocks in the way of a student to learn will help the focus of education. To reform the learning process includes the foundation. It should be sought out to find the mission statement in order to keep the focus on why students are in school and the learning goals. This is a good desire that is needed. Getting down to the basis of school assessment will help the American school system. Playing the blame game will not change anything nor will it help a problem come to a conclusion.

Aprovechar RapidShare con Firefox y Orbit

Este post está destinado a todos aquellos felices usuarios de cuentas Premium de Rapidshare. El cual les hará ahorrar MUCHO tiempo. Quiero explicar un poco, como poder descargar con Orbit + Flashgot (para esto es necesario usar Mozilla Firefox).[Ver post]

Bien, y algunos se preguntarán, para qué usar un gestor de descargas pudiendo descargarlos manualmente? Bien, la respuesta es muy sencilla, COMODIDAD, es decir, yo cuando veo 70 enlaces de un HDTV (por ejemplo) es una barbaridad pinchando enlace por enlace, por lo que con esto con seleccionar todos los enlaces se descargan sólos.

Continuamos con el Tutorial.

Los pasos son los siguientes:
1.-Como dice, bajar el Mozilla Firefox.
2.-Descargar Orbit e instalarlo.
3.-Descargar la extensión del Firefox llamada Flashgot e instalarla.

Llegado a este punto, es necesario configurar el Flashgot para que elija como gestor de descargas el Orbit. Entramos a Herramientas, Flashgot, Otras Opciones y como gestor de descarga nos tiene que aparecer Orbit.

Ahora nos toca configurar el Orbit, para que logueé con nuestra cuentra premium y así no tener ningún problema, por lo que vamos a Inicio/Programas/Orbit/Orbit y entramos en el menu Herramientas/Preferencias.

Conexiones a Sitios / Nuevo y añadimos los datos de nuestra cuenta premium

El siguiente paso importante, configurar nuestra cuenta Rapidshare. Por lo que entramos a la web de Rapidshare y nos logueamos en ella, encontraremos una pantalla similar a esta y hacemos click en la opción Settings:

Por lo que tendremos que elegir la opción de Direct Downloads y elegir Random Selection.

Terminados estos pasos, llegamos a la parte que más nos interesa, poder descargar desde Rapidshare rapidamente.

1.-Entramos a la página de Rapidshare (https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi y nos logueamos con nuestra cuenta premium. (Paso MUY IMPORTANTE este, por las cookies, sino les bajará archivos de 5 o 6 kb nomás y empezarán a preguntar el porqué).
2.-Buscamos que deseamos descargar, yo voy a hacer una muestra con un juego, por ejemplo Guitar Hero III: Legend of Rock, que mi compañero Elros Sama postio.(http://files-downloads.blogspot.com/2008/11/guitar-hero-iii-legend-of-rock-full-pc.html)
3.-Como ven tiene varios enlaces, Y como hacer para descargar todo a la vez? Pues muy sencillo, seleccionamos todos los enlaces con el boton izquierdo del raton y hacemos click con el boton derecho, nos saldrá un menú similar a este:
4.-Le damos a Descargar Selección y se nos abrirá un menú igual que este:
5.-Pues seleccionamos todos los partes dandole a Cambiar el estado de elección y seleccionamos la ruta donde queremos guardar los archivos...

Listo, ahora a descargar.
Saludos...
