报告摘要：Conventionally, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) devices are used either as glue logic, in which the FPGA device interfaces between a number of conventional integrated circuits, or as a data interface. However, the full potential of the FPGA extends well beyond these conventional applications. In this presentation, several topics, loosely categorized into “unconventional” applications, are discussed. The examples are extracted from real high energy physics applications, including a time-to-digital converter (TDC) implemented purely with FPGA, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using FPGA TDC and passive components, waveform digitization, data compression, filtering and reconfigurable computing in FPGA. Some examples are discussed in a book authored by the lecturer: “Applications of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays in Scientific Research” (Taylor & Francis, 2010), while others were newly developed after publication of the book. The presentation is intended for a general physicist/engineer audience.
