No.4（2001）22.An application of HDL(hardware description language) to a control system

Hisanao MORI and Kazumi SAKAMAKI

This report describes the method of developing a control system without being conscious of the conventional integrated circuit(IC). In the method, the field programmable gate array(FPGA) having a logic structure which can be configured arbitrarily was used. The FPGA configuration needs HDL, and so the processer and the IC ware described by HDL. A designer can use and select intellectual property(IP), and a designer can change the bit width of the bus. In other words, the configurable and scalable control system was realized.
