  • beyond Schematic Capture meaningful abstractions for better electronics design tools
    Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2019
    Co-Authors: Rohit Ramesh, Antonio Iannopollo, Alberto Sangiovanni Vincentelli, Prabal Dutta, Elad Alon, Bjorn Hartmann
    Abstract:

    Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design tools are critical in helping users build non-trivial electronics devices. While recent work recognizes deficiencies with current tools and explores novel methods, little has been done to understand modern designers and their needs. To gain better insight into their practices, we interview fifteen electronics designers of a variety of backgrounds. Our open-ended, semi-structured interviews examine both overarching design flows and details of individual steps. One major finding was that most creative engineering work happens during system architecture, yet current tools operate at lower abstraction levels and create significant tedious work for designers. From that insight, we conceptualize abstractions and primitives for higher-level tools and elicit feedback from our participants on clickthrough mockups of design flows through an example project. We close with our observation on opportunities for improving board design tools and discuss generalizability of our findings beyond the electronics domain.

  • VHDL descriptions of adaptive sample rate notch filtersAdaptive discrete cosine transform for feedback active noise control
    1995
    Co-Authors: R.h. Strandberg, K.c. Shenoy, M.a. Soderstrand
    Abstract:

    Adaptive sample rate filtering has been shown to be an efficient and effective method of removing narrowband interference from broadband communication signals. A VHDL description of the algorithm is proposed. VHDL descriptions of algorithms can be more intuitive to the designer than Schematic Capture programs and with high level synthesis tools, the transition to circuit-level design is facilitated. VHDL makes testing multiple architectures easier and one can readily retarget different technologies. A comparison between the adaptive sample rate technique and the traditional method of adaptation in which filter coefficients are adapted provides a measure of the advantages of the adaptive sample rate technique.
