Rounding and Saturation Truncation for Fixed-Point Data in Verilog
In digital signal processing implementations, data quantization and bit truncation are common operations. This article covers two critical techniques: rounding to preserve precision during truncation, and saturation handling when results exceed representable ranges.
Data Format Notation
Fixed-point data formats follow the mQn convention where m ...

FPGA Implementation of ARP Protocol Using MII Interface
Role of ARP in Network CommunicationWhen a host initiates network communication, the application layer is aware of the destination IP address and port number but lacks knowledge of the target's hardware (MAC) address. Since network interface cards process incoming packets at the physical layer first, any frame with a mismatched destination MAC ...

FPGA Implementation of HDMI TMDS Encoding and Interface Primitives
HDMI Protocol OverviewHigh-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) facilitates the simultaneous transmission of uncompressed video and multi-channel audio. The standard Type-A connector features 19 pins operating at frequencies up to 160MHz, commonly found in consumer electronics. Protocol iterations (1.0, 1.3, 2.0, 2.1) progressively increase b ...
