摘要:The VME bus interface Controller (VIC068 A) is used to interface Local CPU bus and VME bus. VME Bus Controller is used in wide ap plicatio n areas where hig h relia- bility, g ood accuracy and high speed are desired to wi thstand industrial environment lik e nuclea r power plant and process industries. VME Bus controller can config ure as Master, Slave, Interrupt Ha ndler, arbiter as well a s p ower monitor. Commercial VME Bus interface controller chips are available from a few vendors and are very expensive. As time goes VME Bus Controller Chips become absolute and vendor support will not be pro vided. To solve part obsolescence problem and support long term maintainability, it has been implemented by using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This pa per discusses implementation of VME Bus Contro ller on FPGA development board XC3S200 with functionality coded in VHDL.The design of VME Bus Controller involved imple- mentation of the Master interface module,slave interface mod- ule,Interrupt handler module as well as system controller module.All this modules were programm ed using VHDL hard- ware description language.The modules were simulated and implemented using Xillinx ISE 9.2i.By simulation results of the modules functionality of VME Bus Controller was verified correctly.After successful implementation of the VME Bus Controller functionality has been tested in VME Bus setup.
