Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a general purpose programmable logic device that can be configured by a customer after manufacturing to perform from a simple logic gate operations to complex systems on chip or even artificial intelligence systems. Scientific publications related to FPGA started in 1992 and, up to now, we found more than 70,000 documents in the two leading scientific databases (Scopus and Clarivative Web of Science). These publications show the vast range of applications based on FPGAs, from the new mechanism that enables the magnetic suspension system for the kilogram redefinition, to the Mars rovers’ navigation systems. This paper reviews the top FPGAs’ applications by a scientometric analysis in ScientoPy, covering publications related to FPGAs from 1992 to 2018. Here we found the top 150 applications that we divided into the following categories: digital control, communication interfaces, networking, computer security, cryptography techniques, machine learning, digital signal processing, image and video processing, big data, computer algorithms and other applications. Also, we present an evolution and trend analysis of the related applications.

Development of power electronic devices requires multi -dis Keywords Multi-level inverter, Zynq-7000, Hardware in the loop, CHB IntroductionNowadays the high extent of market competition and strict standard requirements imply that the power electronic products are continuously becoming more and more complex. The design of a competitive inverter has to simultaneously meet the time-to-market, economic, efficiency, reliability and the technical standards related requirements. Meeting this versatile set of requirements and constrains seems to be a challenge for the researchers and developers who are responsible for the product development [1].High performance modeling tools [2] and model based design paradigm can help engineers to overcome the aforementioned product complexity [3]. Rapid prototype methods [4] can extend the performance of the model based design at high extent [5][6][7]. To demonstrate the performance of these tools, a HIL based model of a five-level CHB inverter is developed and tested in this article series. This demonstration project can be divided into 4 subprojects. The starting point is the modeling of power electronics. The second one is the implementation of the communication interface between the hardware and the host PC of developers. The third one is the development of DAQ and monitoring system, since the efficiency of the development highly depends on the observability of the system. The last one covers the creation of the tool chain, which makes model transformation easier.The aim of this article is to introduce the model development, which makes hardware co-simulation possible. The accuracy of the model and the effect of the model transformation were verified by simulation. During the verification the behavior of a fixed point model was compared to the SimPower System based reference model.The article consists of three main sections. The first section introduces the applied workflow and design procedure. In the next section the details of CHB model are analysed. In the last section the implemented fixed point model is simulated and verified in Simulink.

IntroductionNowadays researchers and developers face a challenge regarding the increasing product complexity and stricter time to market requirements. These trends imply that the rapid prototype solutions have been starting to be more popular [1]. One of the most promising rapid prototype solutions is the HIL based prototypes [2][3][4]. Due to the fact that the computational capacity is becoming cheaper and cheaper, there are currently many solutions to build HIL system with high performance. One of these devices is Zynq-7000 system on chip product. It is very attractive not only because of the high available resources but also because of the strong community behind it.Development of power electronic devices requires multidisciplined engineering competence and skill set as a result of the system complexity. Therefore, application of the HIL in the power electronic system design seems to be a promising opportunity to improve the efficiency of the design and development [5][6][7].In the previous part of this article series, the development of the Simulink model is demonstrated. The aim of this article is to introduce the details of the Matlab Simulink model deployment to the aforementioned Zynq-7000 platform in case of CHB multi-level inverter. The deployment procedure covers the model transformation, FPGA design, development of the system software and Matlab interface as it can be seen in Fig. 1. Apart from technical details, the applied tool chain and verification environment are also shortly introduced.
