Prototype board for the test of self-timed circuits developed in FPGAs 1 a

there exist a high number of commercial FPGA prototype boards. Nevertheless, these boards are basically Nowadays, to functional verification of synchronous designs. So, it would be interesting to include tests modules dedicated oriented characterization of digital circuits. These circuits have not to be limited to synchronous circuits, but asynchronous to will also be considered due to their potential advantage. circuits parameters to characterization, we are going to include the latency, throughput, power consumption and noise. Among of the missions of this characterization will be the comparison among synchronous and asynchronous One In most of existent boards, the measure of certain merit parameters of the design is hindered by the implementations. of varying the frequency of the clock signal, or for the inexistence of measuring points of power impossibility or high-speed signals. The main novelty that contributes the design of this board is the possibility of consumption dynamic parameters of the design operation implemented on FPGA. extracting this work, a prototype board based on FPGA is proposed. One of the main novelty is the inclusion of an autonomous In system permitting functional verification and characterization of implemented designs. As an application, a test test has been developed in order to compare and validate several arithmetic circuits, including synchronous and bench asynchronous implementations
