Maykіv I. Methods and Tools for Design of Serial Interface Controllers in Hardware Reconfigurable Systems

Dissertation is dedicated to the development of new methods for the controller of serial interfaces (CSI) design in the reconfigurable hardware systems based on FPGA. The protocol analysis of the common serial interfaces (SI) allowed to offer a 4-level model of the receiving and processing processes as well as the formation and transmitting of messages in the CSI. A software-hardware method of CSI design was proposed, that provides hardware implementation of the processes, that ensures message receiving and transmitting (functions of the physical sub-level layer in message transmitting) and the software implementation process, that provides receiving and transmitting of the full message (function of the data linking layer). General block diagrams of CSI receiver and transmitter that are basic for the CSI of different SI were developed. The method of digital device design which is based on FPGA received further development; structural synthesis and discrete optimization of CSI were formalized; an optimal CSI design method was proposed. Using the experimental 1-Wire CSI as an example, the effectiveness of the proposed methods was evaluated and also the universal CSI was proposed.
