FPGA based Novel High Speed DAQ System Design with Error Correction
Present state of the art applications in the area of high energy physics
experiments (HEP), radar communication, satellite communication and bio medical
instrumentation require fault resilient data acquisition (DAQ) system with the
data rate in the order of Gbps. In order to keep the high speed DAQ system
functional in such radiation environment where direct intervention of human is
not possible, a robust and error free communication system is necessary. In
this work we present an efficient DAQ design and its implementation on field
programmable gate array (FPGA). The proposed DAQ system supports high speed
data communication (~4.8 Gbps) and achieves multi-bit error correction
capabilities. BCH code (named after Raj Bose and D. K. RayChaudhuri) has been
used for multi-bit error correction. The design has been implemented on Xilinx
Kintex-7 board and is tested for board to board communication as well as for
board to PC using PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect express) interface.
To the best of our knowledge, the proposed FPGA based high speed DAQ system
utilizing optical link and multi-bit error resiliency can be considered first
of its kind. Performance estimation of the implemented DAQ system is done based
on resource utilization, critical path delay, efficiency and bit error rate
