Three IP soft-core designs of ADC and FPGA verification

Abstract

Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) are important components of the Input /Output system in a Large-Scale Integrated Circuit, And the applied value is very high. Such as wireless communications, medical imaging, portable test equipment, video equipment, radar and guide, portable instrumentation, etc. in this paper, by researching and explorating the multiplexing design methodology, the paper achieves three quasi-digital IP soft cores of 8-bit, 10bit and 16bit. The AD Converters are comprehensive certificated, and meet the requirements, they can be directly applied to the SoC and the front parts of ASIC. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
