Description
FPGAs are central to electronic design! The engineers designing these devices are in need of essential information at a moment's notice. The Instant Access Series provides all the critical content that a computer design engineer needs in his or her daily work. This book provides an introduction to FPGAs as well as succinct overviews of fundamental concepts and basic programming. FPGAs are a customizable chip flexible enough to be deployed in a wide range of products and applications. There are several basic design flows detailed including ones based in C/C++, DSP, and HDL. This book is filled with images, figures, tables, and easy to find tips and tricks for the engineer that needs material fast to complete projects to deadline. Table of Contents CHAPTER 1 The Fundamentals CHAPTER 2 FPGA Architectures CHAPTER 3 Programming (Configuring) an FPGA CHAPTER 4 FPGA vs. ASIC Designs CHAPTER 5 ?Traditional? Design Flows CHAPTER 6 Other Design Flows CHAPTER 7 Using Design Tools CHAPTER 8 Choosing the Right Device

Audience
Circuit Designers, Applications Engineers, Software and Hardware Engineers; Computer Engineers
