Single Chip Solution: Implementation of Soft Core Microcontroller Logics in FPGA

Abstract

This paper proposes a miniaturized model for a particular application by implementing its control circuitry in field programmable gate array (FPGA). This model replaces the conventional circuitry which contains separate unit of microcontroller and complex programmable logic device (CPLD) with a single FPGA chip. Thus it provides a reduced and efficient utilization of resources with increased configurability and flexibility.
