Description
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are devices that provide a fast, low-cost way for embedded system designers to customize products
and deliver new versions with upgraded features, because they can handle very complicated functions, and be reconfigured an infinite
number of times. In addition to introducing the various architectural features available in the latest generation of FPGAs, The Design
Warrior?s Guide to FPGAs also covers different design tools and flows.
This book covers information ranging from schematic-driven entry,
through traditional HDL/RTL-based simulation and logic synthesis, all the way up to the current state-of-the-art in pure C/C++ design
capture and synthesis technology. Also discussed are specialist areas such as mixed hardward/software and DSP-based design flows, along
with innovative new devices such as field programmable node arrays (FPNAs).
Clive "Max" Maxfield is a bestselling author and engineer
with a large following in the electronic design automation (EDA)and embedded systems industry. In this comprehensive book, he covers
all the issues of interest to designers working with, or contemplating a move to, FPGAs in their product designs. While other books cover
fragments of FPGA technology or applications this is the first to focus exclusively and comprehensively on FPGA use for embedded systems.
Audience
Electronics design engineers and engineering managers, ASIC Designers moving to FPGAs, electrical and computer engineering students, sales and marketing professionals in the electronic design arena
