The National Centre for Physics has organized a 3-day FPGA workshop from 14th – 16th February, 2006.

The workshop aims were to impart the participants a good understanding about FPGAs & their significance in the field of advance digital design by delivering lectures & providing them hands on practice on FPGA development boards. After the completion of this workshop, the participants got good knowledge of the basic architecture of FPGA & CPLD & were able to program the FPGA according to their desired digital design.

Mr. Irfan Faisal Mir from PINSTECH was the main speaker of the workshop while Dr. Shoib A. Khan from CARE private limited exhibited a guest appearance.

The event covered these topics in lectures:

  • Digital Design Objective

  • Clock Methodology, Critical & Cycle Time

  • Verilog HDL Basics, Abstraction Levels

  • Module Basics, Module Instances

  • Hierarchal Design

  • Gate Level Modeling

  • Data-Flow: Continuous Assignments

  • Operators

  • Behavioral Modeling

  • Procedural Blocks (initial, always)

  • Blocking & Non-Blocking Assignments

  • Clock & Async/Sync Reset in Digital System

  • Built-in-Self Test (BIST) in chips

  • Boundary Scan Testing

  • Digital Systems, State Machine Concept

  • RTL Coding Guidelines

  • Introduction of FPGA

  • Xilinx FPGA Basics

  • Xilinx FPGA CLBs

  • LUT Implementation in CLBs, FPGA I/O Blocks

  • Xilinx XC4000 and Spartan Series FPGA internal architecture

  • Xilinx FPGA Design Process

  • Core Generator

  • Synthesis & Implementation, Configuration Flow

  • Timing Simulation with ModelSim & ISE 6.1i

The labs of the event included:
  • Installation of the Laboratory
