FPGA IP-Core
The HIPERFACE DSL
®
interface is installed in the frequency inverter system via a special
protocol logic circuit, known as the DSL Master. The circuit is installed in an FPGA com‐
ponent and is supplied as an Intellectual Property Core (IP Core). The IP Core of the DSL
master is supplied in a form such that it can be freely connected within the FPGA. If
there is sufficient space within the FPGA used, the DSL Master can be installed in the
same component as the frequency inverter application.
To be able to join different components to the IP Core, e.g. internal FPGA buses, various
open-source interface blocks are supplied with the IP Core.

face blocks. Signal characteristics are listed in
