Implementation of Control Logic in the Scoreboard of Tennis

Abstract

This paper presents one original solution of control logic for scoreboard in tennis match. The main goal is to simplify the process of recording points. Instead of using six buttons the chair umpire (referee) will use only two control buttons or a joystick to assign a point to a player. The proposed system takes care of all other data processing. The system is designed in Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and Standard Application Specific Integrated Circuits (SASIC) technology to demonstrate similarities and differences between two design technologies. Finally it is realized on FPGA type EP2C35F672C6 from Cyclone II Altera’s family.
