Distance measurement as a practical example of FPGA design. En TAEE 2018: XIII Technologies Applied to Electronics Teaching Conference La Laguna, Tenerife: IEEE Computer Society.978-1-5386-0928-6https://hdl.handle.net/11441/129271Digital design learning at the RT level requires practical examples and as learning progresses, the examples need to become more complex. FPGAs and development boards offer a very suitable platform for the implementation of these designs. However, classroom practice sessions usually last two hours, which does not allow the complexity of the designs be high enough. For this reason, interesting designs that can be made in several sessions are required In this paper, the construction of a distance measuring system is presented as a demonstrator. For this purpose, a distance measurement module based on ultrasound is available and the results are displayed in 7-segment displays on a Nexys4 board.application/pdf4engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/VHDLDigital system designDistance measuring moduleField Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)Distance measurement as a practical example of FPGA designinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess10.1109/TAEE.2018.8476143
