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.
