Display on VGA Monitor by FPGA(VHDL code Synthesizable, 640X480 resol, 60Hz)

This code is for displaying a simple ball bouncing on your monitor screen. As the monitor requires 60 Hz refresh rate i.e. to replace each pixel 60 times, it requires approx 40 ns. So to synchronize it with the FPGA processing speed, I used PLL with 50 MHz i/p clock dividing it to 25 MHz which scans each pixel in 40 ns.

The Video Synchronization file I created is VGAS which has 5 o/ps viz.

• red_out
• green_out
• blue_out
• horiz_sync_out
• vert_sync_out

These are connected to the VGA controller which must have be present on your FPGA board (present on all DE series board of Altera, I dont know about Xilinx).
For the pins check the your board manual.

The VGAS.vhd file can be used as common file for all your FPGA projects(for dividing 50Hz clock as I have used PLL which is already present on DE1 board. So if you have DE1 board its well and good you can directly use the code with the syncclk.vhd included. If dont just a minor modification in i/p clock signal with 25MHz in VGAS.vhd and removing syncclk.vhd and its component in VGAS.vhd will work.)

The Ballm.vhd is used to create display on Monitor. For DE1 users you can diretly program the SOF file i hav provided in download links.
