NRIPower Systems Control & Dispatching Research CenterProject Title:Digital and Mixed Signal VLSI ASIC Design & FCCMSLaboratoryDepartment: Computer SystemsProject Manager: B. DaemiEmployer: Niroo Research Institute Project Code: PCOPN05Project Staff: A. Sepehr, B. Mehdipour, F. khalvatiSummary:The primary goal of VLSI Laboratory of computer systems department is to make NRIresearch products comparable with world wide power industries’ products. Besides it isfocused on increasing the reliability and performance coefficient as well as decreasingthe overall cost of its products by employing high technology techniques. Thislaboratory is specialized on digital design and carries the design up to post simulationand implements designed circuits on FPGAs.Laboratory is equipped with latest digital design front-end and few back-end CADtools. A number of projects related to power industry have been developed andimplemented in this laboratory. Parallel to this, the laboratory is equipped with the latesthardwares and softwares especially for handling DSP designs better and faster.Because of the good facilities , great power and easy to learn tools of Xilinx Inc. we arefocused in designing with its FPGAs and CPLDs. All the designs carried out in thislaboratory are fully documented and easy to maintenance.We are glad to announce that this laboratory is ready to accept digital design projects.For more information please contact the following email address computer@nri.ac.ir .Project Results: Starting operation of advanced digital design laboratory. Provision of software /hardware tools for digital design. Carrying successful projects for the first time in the country. Holding courses in digital design. Troubleshooting for other departments of NRI.96
