FPGA Based Development of a High Speed Digital Data Recorder for Detonation Velocity Measurement in Field Applications

Kariman HP Singh, Neeru Malhotra, HK. Gupta

Abstract


In this paper an approach is made to describe the designing, simulation & synthesis of a high speed Digital Data Recorder using VLSI technology. The realization of the recorder which records high speed data (up to 20MHz) is done by using VHDL (Hardware Description Language). The synthesized design is implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array by using XILINIX 4005. Hardware reduction, reprogrammability, RS-232C interface, single chip solution, high reliability, less weight, smaller size, calibration of number of parameters are the salient features of the equipment.
