TY - THES U1 - Master Thesis A1 - Koers, Lars T1 - Setup of test environments based on a Xilinx Zynq SoC for measuring the leakage current and for radiation qualifcation of SRAM based FPGAs N2 - This thesis discusses the development of test environments using Xilinx Zynq System on Chip (SoC) for measuring leakage currents and radiation qualification of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) at European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). The effects of radiation on electronic components are explained, followed by an introduction to the FPGAs used. The GateMate FPGAs leakage current is measured in its application area with respect to temperature and core voltages. A comparable testing environment is used from the tester to the tested device, as it will later be used at CERN. The GateMate is being prepared in this setup for the finalization of radiation qualification at CERN, to be transferred later. For this purpose, the basic tests are explained and the outstanding tests are then carried out. The Lattice iCE40 UltraLite FPGA is used in an initial application test to determine its suitability for further radiation qualification tests at CERN. The analysis and presentation of the test results are followed by a summary and outlook. N2 - Diese Arbeit behandelt die Entwicklung von Testumgebungen mit einem Xlinix Zynq SoC zur Messung von Leckströmen sowie der Strahlenqualifizierung von SRAM basierten FPGAs am CERN. Zunächst werden die Effekte von Strahlung sowie deren Wirkung auf elektronische Komponenten erläutert. Anschließend wird eine Einführung in die verwendeten FPGAs gegeben. In der Durchführung wird der Leckstrom des GateMate FPGAs in seinem Einsatzbereich hinsichtlich Temperatur und Core-Spannungen gemessen. Es wird eine Testumgebung mit ähnlichen Verbindungen zwischen Tester und Testgerät verwendet, wie sie später bei Bestrahlungsstudien am CERN Anwendung findet. Der GateMate wird in diesem Setup für die Finalisierung der Strahlenqualifikation vorbereitet, um die spätere Inbetriebnahme am CERN zu beschleunigen. Dazu werden die Tests grundlegend erläutert und die noch ausstehenden im Anschluss durchgeführt. Der Lattice iCE40 UltraLite FPGA wird in einem ersten Applikationstest eingesetzt, um seine Eignung für weitere Tests zur Strahlenqualifikation am CERN zu bestimmen. Die Ergebnisse aller durchgeführten Tests werden ausgewertet und dargestellt. Abschließend wird eine Zusammenfassung mit Ausblick präsentiert.

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.

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.

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.

Zunächst wurde eine Einführung in Strahlungseffekte und ihre Auswirkungen auf elektronische Komponenten gegeben, gefolgt von einem kurzen Überblick auf aktuelle Strahlungsteststandards. Die üblichen Elemente in FPGAs werden diskutiert, gefolgt von Details über GateMate spezifische Elementen sowie eines Überblicks über den Software-Design-Flow für GateMate FPGA Anwendungen. Im Anschluss wird die Entwicklung eines PCBs für Bestrahlungstests des GateMates detailliert. Vier Komponenten des GateMate wurden während drei Strahlungskampagnen getestet, sowie eine Benchmark-Schaltung, um die Strahlungsempfindlichkeit des GateMate mit anderen am CERN getesteten FPGAs zu vergleichen. Die Testarchitektur besteht aus dem DUT FPGA und einem TESTER FPGA, dessen Aufgabe es ist, Eingaben an das DUT zu liefern und dessen Reaktion aufzuzeichnen. Die für alle Tests entwickelten DUT- und TESTER-Designs werden im Detail diskutiert. Schließlich werden die während der Bestrahlungskampagnen erzielten Ergebnisse vorgestellt, die zeigen, dass der GateMate FPGA ähnliche wie andere FPGAs mit vergleichbarer Prozesstechnologie liefert. Lediglich der Benchmark-Test wurde nicht finalisiert, da Probleme bei der Implementierung die Fertigstellung im vorgegebenen Zeitrahmen verhinderten. Die Arbeit schließt mit einer umfassenden Zusammenfassung und einem Ausblick ab.

Based on the MIPS instruction set program data is generated and introduced in the simulation by means of initialization files. Before the simulation, technology specific SRAM modules are integrated into theMIPS core. Two different programs are used for power characterization. The first program performs frequent memory accesses by means of load/store word instructions, while the second program is a loop which operates on registers only and mainly increments addresses. The simulation is based on a virtual prototype which is generated by synthesis and place & route including post-layout parasitic extractions. The stimuli for the power extraction is generated via gate-level simulation and forwarded to the power calculation engine. The effect of X-propagation on gate-level simulations is avoided by modifying the address-related statements in the execution data path module, which use another form of 2 to 1 multiplexer, setting the output to zero for all input signals even with an initial value of ’x’ without changing the functionality. Finally, the consumed power is provided by reports generated by the power simulation engine. The memory-centric program consumes 35.39mW of internal power using instructions, which is 0.73mW less than the internal power of the register-centric program, and the overall average power is also lower by almost 0.7mW.
