Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Field programmable gate arrays Programmable array logic Dissertations -- Electronic engineering Theses -- Electronic engineering Electrical and Electronic Engineering Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. This thesis investigates to the design, analysis and testing of a Superconducting Programmable Gate Array (SPGA). The objective was to apply existing programmable logic concepts to RSFQ circuits and in the process develop a working prototype of a superconducting programmable logic device. Various programmable logic technologies and architectures were examined and compared to find the best solution. Using Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) circuits as building blocks, a complete functional design was assembled incorporating a routing architecture and logic blocks. The Large-Scale Integrated circuit (LSI) layout of the final chip is presented and discussed followed by a discussion on testing. This thesis demonstrates the successful implementation of a fully functional reprogrammable logic device using RSFQ circuitry. 2006-10-17T07:55:21Z 2010-06-01T08:29:32Z 2006-10-17T07:55:21Z 2010-06-01T08:29:32Z 2006-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/1644 University of Stellenbosch 9852535 bytes application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
