Overview of Custom Microcontroller using Xilinx Zynq XC7Z020 FPGA
Abstract: This paper presents an
overview of customizable microcontroller using a Xilinx Zynq XC7Z020 FPGA as an
alternative to increase its performance as user need. This alternative arises
due to many ofthe systems, which developed mostly by using microcontroller are
not giving any room for customization to increase its performance or I/O ports.
There is any possibility that the system designed to be used by using general
processor such as PC to increase its performance but it will give another
problem such as interface difficulty for high speed I/O, real time processing,
increases complexity, and many more. Customization is introduced by combining
hard IP processor and FPGA in one chip instead of practicing two separate
devices,processor and FPGA, which is commonly use in high performance embedded
design. This approach allows seamless design development and development time
reduction for customization.
