Campera CES VHDL Utility Library for FPGA

Benefits of libraries

VHDL libraries are a powerful mechanism the language offers to collect common modules together for reuse. Reuse is a key to success with FPGA design, it helps to design faster, easier and with verified and validated modules. Designing and testing a general purpose library is often considered as a time consuming effort and most often there is no time for FPGA designers to build a complete general purpose library.

Using our library allow designers to focus on high-level design without wasting time to develop building blocks.

Quality and support

Campera Electronic Systems meets the highest standards

of quality and developed a rigorous design flow that dramatically reduce design flaws at each stage of the development process.

Customers with a valid support contract can benefit from our 24/7 support by mail and phone, all optional modules, testbenches and more.

CES Utility Library

Datasheet

Each VHDL module in the Utility Library can be easily configured via generics, reset type (sync or async), reset level (active low or active high), output value on reset, memory depth and data width, to mention a few.

To allow for proper instantiation of hard core modules (such as Block Ram or DSP) a generic with vendor, synthesis tool and other specific information is propagated to each module.

Key Features

vendor independent "off the shelf" VHDL cores for FPGAs (Xilinx, Altera, Achronix, Lattice and Microsemi)
VHDL modules are written in pure VHDL-93 standard (2008 available on demand), completely vendor independent
optimized in terms of speed, power and resource usage
architected, developed, verified, released and maintained through a rigorous and efficient process
DO-254 and IEC-61508 compliance if required

Key Benefits

No cost for hardware/tool version update/upgrade
No time to re-generate the cores for different targets and/or tools
Considerably faster simulations compared to vendor pre-synthesized IP Cores
Configurable high quality VHDL modules available
Customization available on demand
More than 150 useful functions in the ces_util package
More than 13.000 lines of VHDL source code and 7000 lines of comments
CES internal VHDL coding standard to help you quickly understand the source code
The ces_util_lib is the swiss army knife of every FPGA designer and is ideal for expert designers as well as beginners
Ideal for Companies who start to work on FPGA design to start designing with a complete library of modules as well as expert designers

Applications
