Abstract:
In this paper, the design application is a telemetry system intended for health monitoring applications. The Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is used as the brain control unit at both transmitter and receiver sides. The transmitter side is recording data packets through external interfaced sensors. Verilog Hardware Description Language (Verilog-HDL) has been used to implement the various functionalities required by the FPGA device. The power performance of the FPGA-based design will be assessed using the XILINX Xpower tool. A Model sim Code coverage feature has been incorporated to make sure that the test bench will cover all the nets branch statements of the design and create the most accurate Value Change Dump (VCD) file for the power consumption assessment process.
