|---|---|---|
A high-performance digital spectrometer backend ASIC has been designed for use with an off-the-shelf ADC frontend. The design is based on an architecture described in Simulink that has been field-tested on FPGA platforms for radio astronomy applications. The architecture maximizes the utilization of operators to nearly 100%. A test structure has been added to the design to support the detection of soft errors, since several space-borne applications may expose the circuit to high-energy particles. An in-house automated design flow was used to map the same Simulink description to a 90 nm CMOS ASIC, preserving cycle-accurate and bit-accurate behavior. The chip operates with clock rates up to 390 MHz, delivering a throughput of up to 1.56 GS/s with 710 mW of power. |
