FPGA realization and analysis of lorenz chaotic system using fixed point representation

In this thesis, the software model of Lorenz chaotic system is implemented using floating and fixed point number representations. Furthermore, a parametric, fixed point design of the system is realized on FPGA. Compared to other studies in literature, the most significant difference of this work is the realization of Lorenz chaotic system without any automatic code generation tools. All of the system design components are realized using fixed point number representation with varying bit lengths. Also, software simulation and hardware design outputs are matched under different conditions with various bit lengths. Consequently, speed and resource usage of Lorenz chaotic system is obtained using Xilinx Virtex II FPGA.Keywords FPGA, Verilog, Matlab, Lorenz, Chaotic Systems
