Therefore, the signal processing system of the neutron critical detector 1 adopts a hardware architecture based on the FPGA technology to realize main control and communication functions, and the stable operation of the system does not depend on a microprocessor and software.
The hardware architecture based on the FPGA technology has the following advantages:
certainty: the FPGA chip realizes the designed safety function in a pure hardware circuit mode, and the execution of the hardware circuit is more definite than the execution of software and an operating system.
Reliability: the FPGA chip based on the FLASH and the FPGA chip based on the anti-fuse technology can effectively resist single event upset caused by random irradiation, so that the FPGA chip has higher reliability compared with a CPU chip.
Security: the FPGA technology provides better protection against network malicious attacks. Firstly, the hardware logic burned into the FPGA chip cannot be modified randomly without an engineering tool; secondly, the modification of the hardware logic needs to be carried out through a special interface, and the interface is generally disconnected when the system runs; finally, the hardware logic adopts encryption measures to make the FPGA logic difficult to reproduce through reverse engineering.
The performance is that the response time depends not only on the logic processing time but also on the signal processing time and the communication time. The parallel processing mode adopted by the internal hardware logic of the FPGA chip has higher processing speed than the serial processing mode of the software code in the CPU chip. In addition, the FPGA-based intelligent probe processes input and output signals in parallel, and the execution time of the FPGA-based intelligent probe is not limited by the data refresh rate in a periodic or regular mode. The input and output signals of the device can be processed simultaneously, and when the system scale is increased, the parallel processing mode does not increase the time required for inputting and outputting the signals.
Sustainability and economy: the CPU chip is updated faster than the FPGA chip, which means that the service life of the probe based on the CPU technology is shorter than that of the intelligent probe based on the FPGA technology. With the updating and upgrading of the CPU chip, the existing software codes in the original CPU chip are difficult to be transplanted to the CPU chip of the new generation. On the contrary, the FPGA technology makes the system upgrade easier in the future. FPGA logic code and register level design programmed using a hardware description language can be migrated to a new FPGA chip that requires only new synthesis and layout wiring of existing code and new software tools used by the design, and the previous investment in software design can be retained to the maximum extent.
