  abstract  = {Growing demand for security in a wide range of fields gives raise to research for more efficient and modern methods. Additionally, the increase of systems that are deployed on hardware requires security to be embedded in small area to protect intellectual property, hardware, and integrity and confidentially of sensible data. Therefore, in this work a design and FPGA implementation of a highly resource-efficient AES-256 encryption and decryption engine is presented, as well as its comparison with state-of-the-art designs. The design shows a reduction in the resources used due to its architecture to reuse hardware throughout all the processing. The design is implemented on a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA.},

  abstract  = {The work presented in this thesis deals with the distance measurement aspect of a 3D Polarization ToF camera for automotive applications that uses a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) to measure the time interval between the emission of light from a source and its reception. Based on the measurement of the time interval, distance can be calculated by applying the equation of motion. In application, achieving an exact distance measurement is quite strenuous because the operating conditions of the design are susceptible to change due to environmental factors. Therefore, to achieve accuracy in distance measurement, the time interval between the emission and reception of light must be measured precisely. For this purpose, a delay asymmetry compensation logic is developed. This thesis elaborates the addition of debugging features, redesign of some components, digital calibration approach and the entire testbench environment of the delay asymmetry compensation logic. It also sheds light on the implementation of the designed logic for its successful realisation in real hardware. Lastly, it concludes by narrating future prospects and further scopes of development.},

  abstract  = {In this thesis, the radiation sensitivity of the novel Cologne Chip GateMate A1 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is evaluated. An initial introduction of radiation mechanisms and their effects on electronics is given, followed by a brief overview of radiation test standards. The common elements present in FPGAs are discussed, which is followed by details of the GateMate FPGA device and a description of the software design flow. Afterwards, the development of a purpose-built printed circuit board (PCB) for radiation tests with the GateMate FPGA is detailed. Four components of the GateMate have been tested during three radiation campaigns, as well as a benchmark circuit to compare the radiation performance of the GateMate with other FPGAs tested at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The test architecture consists of the device under test (DUT) FPGA and a TESTER FPGA whose task is to provide inputs to the DUT and record its response. The DUT and TESTER designs developed for all tests are discussed in detail. Finally, the results obtained during the irradiation campaigns are presented, showing that the GateMate FPGA performs similarly to other FPGAs using the same process technology. Only the benchmark test was not finalized, as implementation problems prevented its completion in the given time frame. The thesis concludes with a comprehensive summary and outlook.},
