Estrutura reconfigurável, aplicada ao processamento de sinais analógicos, usando FPGA e microcontrolador.

Abstract

Due to characteristics like fast prototyping, reconfigurability and flexibility, the application fields of FPGAs, actually, is increasing. One of these applications is a co-processor to a general-purpose processor (a microcontroller or a PC) that permits to obtain, in comparison with conventional structures, an increase of flexibility, performance or processing capacity. Following that, this dissertation presents a reconfigurable structure using a FPGA, a microcontroller, A/D and D/A converters and interface elements for analog signal processing. Additionally, a structure-based board was designed to support fast prototyping and a design flow was elaborated for applications realization.
