我想对来自 FPGA spartan 3 的外部数字数据进行采样。我最初想以 1000 个样本/秒的速度进行采样。如何在 vhdl 编码中选择时钟频率?
谢谢。
Do not use a counter to generate a lower frequency clock signal.
Multiple clock frequencies in an FPGA cause a variety of design problems, some of which come under the heading of "advanced topics" and, while they can (if necessary) all be dealt with and solved, learning how to use a single fast clock is both simpler and generally better practice (synchronous design).
Instead, use whatever fast clock your FPGA board provides, and generate lower frequency timing signals from it, and - crucially - use them as clock enables, not clock signals.
DLLs, DCMs, PLLs and other clock managers do have their uses, but generating 1 kHz clock signals is generally not a good use, even if their limitations permit it. This application is just crying out for a clock enable...
Also, don't mess around with magic numbers, let the VHDL compiler do the work! I have put the timing requirements in a package, so you can share them with the testbench and anything else that needs to use them.
package timing is
-- Change the first two constants to match your system requirements...
constant Clock_Freq : real := 40.0E6;
constant Sample_Rate : real := 1000.0;
-- These are calculated from the above, so stay correct when you make changes
constant Divide : natural := natural(Clock_Freq / Sample_Rate);
-- sometimes you also need a period, e.g. in a testbench.
constant clock_period : time := 1 sec / Clock_Freq;
end package timing;
And we can write the sampler as follows: (I have split the clock enable out into a separate process to clarify the use of clock enables, but the two processes could be easily rolled into one for some further simplification; the "sample" signal would then be unnecessary)
library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;
use IEEE.numeric_std.all;
use work.timing.all;
entity sampler is
Port (
Clock : in std_logic;
Reset : in std_logic;
ADC_In : in signed(7 downto 0);
-- signed for audio, or unsigned, depending on your app
Sampled : out signed(7 downto 0);
);
end sampler;
architecture Behavioral of Sampler is
signal Sample : std_logic;
begin
Gen_Sample : process (Clock,Reset)
variable Count : natural;
begin
if reset = '1' then
Sample <= '0';
Count := 0;
elsif rising_edge(Clock) then
Sample <= '0';
Count := Count + 1;
if Count = Divide then
Sample <= '1';
Count := 0;
end if;
end if;
end process;
Sample_Data : process (Clock)
begin
if rising_edge(Clock) then
if Sample = '1' then
Sampled <= ADC_In;
end if;
end if;
end process;
end Behavioral;
基本时钟必须基于外部时钟,不能仅通过 Spartan-3 FPGA 中的内部资源生成。如果需要,您可以使用 Spartan-3 FPGA 数字时钟管理器 (DCM) 资源来调整外部时钟。合成的 VHDL 代码本身不能生成时钟。
一旦有了更高频率的基本时钟,例如 100 MHz,您就可以轻松地将其分频以生成 1 kHz 的指示,用于对外部输入进行采样。
这取决于您可用的时钟频率。如果你有一个 20MHz 的时钟源,你需要将它除以 20000 以获得 1KHz,你可以用 VHDL 或使用 DCM 来做到这一点。
这是一个关于如何从 20MHz 输入创建 1kHz 时钟的示例:
library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;
entity clk20Hz is
Port (
clk_in : in STD_LOGIC;
reset : in STD_LOGIC;
clk_out: out STD_LOGIC
);
end clk200Hz;
architecture Behavioral of clk20Hz is
signal temporal: STD_LOGIC;
signal counter : integer range 0 to 10000 := 0;
begin
frequency_divider: process (reset, clk_in) begin
if (reset = '1') then
temporal <= '0';
counter <= 0;
elsif rising_edge(clk_in) then
if (counter = 10000) then
temporal <= NOT(temporal);
counter <= 0;
else
counter <= counter + 1;
end if;
end if;
end process;
clk_out <= temporal;
end Behavioral;
