Modeling HDL Components for FPGAs in Control Applications

FPGA is an emerging technology for automotive control applications to implement peripheral and algorithmic components requiring fast turn-around time. In this session, learn techniques to model HDL components that can be implemented on an FPGA. A motor control example is used to demonstrate common tasks such as:

• Designing a new component and generating HDL code
• Integrating components that will be executed at disparate rates
• Migrating a component from a C to an HDL specification

The components used in this example were modeled in Simulink, tested with simulation, and verified on real-time hardware.
