Week 14: Project Demo

This week we will meet in room 122. Each group should prepare a 10 minute presentation (we will organise an LCD projector and computer) and 10 minute demo regarding their project. Please fill in this report sheet and submit it to me on the day.

Week 12: Elementary functions (CORDIC and STAM methods)

This week we will discuss ways to implement elementary functions such as sin, cos, sqrt etc. The first technique is the CORDIC algorithm (also see the "Computer Arithmetic" chapter in the notes and Ray Andraka's CORDIC webpage, particularly his "A survey of CORDIC algorithms for FPGAs" paper). We will also describe the symmetric table addition method (STAM) (also see the original paper).

Week 11: IDEA cipher

This is an example of a deeply pipelined bit serial design. It is compared with a bit-parallel design (notes
and paper).

Week 11: Multipliers

In this lecture we will discuss various ways of pipelining multipliers which are a key building block for DSP systems. Here are the notes taken from the MIT 6.004 course. An additional handout on bit serial multipliers will be given.

Week 10: Distributed arithmetic and DSP

This week we will talk about the design of filters for digital signal processing. If multipliers are not available, we can use a technique called "distributed arithmetic" to implement a sum of products efficiently (notes and paper).

We will also discuss the implementation of an electronic cochlea which uses distributed arithmetic (notes and paper).
