FPGA as a Bridge between 400 MSPS ADC and 10 MHz Throughput DSP
When we talk of precision instrumentation, we are looking at a system that can manage highly complex math-intensive tasks, since the data collected from physical sensors need a complex degree of calculations to be measured. Although a DSP is well suited for extremely complex math-intensive tasks, it cannot process high sampling rate applications due to its serial architecture.
ASIC does meet all the constraints of digital signal processing, however, it lacks flexibility and requires long design cycles. FPGA overcomes the disadvantages of ASIC and DSP with flexibility, time-to-market, risk-mitigation and lower system costs.
FPGA is ideal for implementing ...
