Summary:

FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) can be found in applications
such as smart phones, mp3 players, medical imaging devices, and for
aerospace and defense technology. FPGAs consist of logic blocks and
programmable interconnects. This allows an engineer to start with a
blank slate and program the FPGA for a specific task, for instance,
digital signal processing, or a specific device, for example, a
software-defined radio. Due to the short time to market and ability
to reprogram to fix bugs without having to respin FPGAs are in
increasingly high demand. This book is for the engineer that has not
yet had any experience with this electrifying and growing field. The
complex issue of FPGA design is broken down into four distinct phases
- Design / Synthesis / Simulation / Place & Route. Numerous
step-by-step examples along with source code accompany the
discussion. A brief primer of one of the popular FPGA and hardware
languages, VHDL, is incorporated for a simple yet comprehensive
learning tool. While a general technology background is assumed, no
direct hardware development understanding is needed. Also, included
are details on tool-set up, verifaction techniques, and test benches.
Reference material consists of a quick reference guide, reserved
words, and common VHDL/FPGA terms. Learn how to design and develop
FPGAs -- no prior experience necessary!Breaks down the complex design
and development of FPGAs into easy-to-learn building blocksContains
examples, helpful tips, and step-by-step tutorials for synthesis,
implementation, simulation, and programming phases
