  • In the research laboratory, we deal with the design and measurement of analog and digital circuits. In previous years, several circuits designed in the laboratory were also manufactured. Currently, the main focus is the design and implementation of digital circuits on programmable logic devices. The applications cover a wide range from the simulation of complex physical systems through image processing to the acceleration of search in bioinformatics databases.  We have developed a small-sized and low-power image processing architecture with the UAV Vision Lab.
  • We accelerated a charged alpha-helix detection algorithm on FPGA with the Structural Biology and Proteomics Lab. We accelerated the simulation of micromagnetic arrays on FPGA in cooperation with the Optics, Magnonics and New Generation Hardware Laboratory.  
  • During the design of circuits, in addition to traditional hardware description languages (VHDL, Verilog), high-level synthesis plays an increasingly important role, which enables the description of the architecture in C/C++. The latest integrated circuit design software (Cadence, Mentor) and development environments for FPGA design are available in the lab.
