A multichannel digital real-time correlator as single FPGA implementation

    Abstract

    The measurement of light scattering represents a scientific method for the analysis and investigation of submicron particle structures [1]. The key principle of this approach is to extract tempospectral information from light scattered using correlation techniques. In this paper we present a multichannel correlator architecture, which integrates 32 correlators on a single chip and thus allows the real-time processing of up to 32 independent input channels. The combination of a fast front-end with a highly optimised soft-core processor leads to a time dynamic range from 5ns up to several hours for every single correlation channel. The underlying algorithmic concepts and the software/hardware design considerations for the system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) will be outlined.
