CATECHON-DSP: Hard-Realtime FPGA Core for Plasma Instability Suppression (IP v4.0)
Abstract
This dataset contains the technical datasheet and hardware specification for the Catechon DSP Preprocessor (v4.0 Diamond). The core is a specialized FPGA-based signal conditioning unit designed for Tokamak magnetic diagnostics (Mirnov coils). It implements a reflexive control architecture capable of detecting Vertical Displacement Events (VDE) and ELMs with a deterministic latency of
