Abstract

In this work, we present the development of a methodology that is a practical guide for the design and implementation of digital measurement instruments, using Programmable Logic Devices (PLD's). Now days the programmable logic technology is a real alternative in the design of a digital systems. This is because of the growing complexity, variable specifications in the development cycle, shorter development time, and the necessity of lower costs. Additionally there are some requirements like confiability and testability. The general goal is to have a universal solution. Objectives of this methodology are: first, reduce time since the problem definition until the manufacturing of the final product; second, define the best use of hardware description language (HDL) to describe behavior.
