FPGA-Based System Design

by Wayne Wolf

This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.Everything FPGA designers need to know about FPGAs and VLSIDigital designs once built in custom silicon are increasingly implemented in field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Effective FPGA system design requires a strong understanding of VLSI issues and constraints, and an understanding of the latest FPGA-specific techniques. In this book, Princeton University's Wayne Wolf covers everything FPGA designers need to know about all these both the "how" and the "why."Wolf begins by introducing the essentials of fabrication, circuits, interconnects, combinational and sequential logic design, system architectures, and more. Next, he demonstrates how to reflect this VLSI knowledge in a state-of-the-art design methodology that leverages FPGA's most valuable characteristics while mitigating its limitations. Coverage How VLSI characteristics affect FPGAs and FPGA-based logic design How classical logic design techniques relate to FPGA-based logic design Understanding FPGA the basic programmable structures of FPGAs Specifying and optimizing logic to address size, speed, and power consumption Verilog, VHDL, and software tools for optimizing logic and designs The structure of large digital systems, including register-transfer design methodology Building large-scale platform and multi-FPGA systems A start-to-finish DSP case study addressing a wide range of design problemsPRENTICE HALLProfessional Technical ReferenceUpper Saddle River, NJ 07458 0-13-142461-0

Well this book is strange. It contains all the FPGA necessary topics but the topics are not well organized. There 50 pages chapters and also 200 pages chapters. Also there are many formulas inside the text book that are not explained. The knowledge is inside the book but it is so chaotic that you spent hours to decide it.
