Features: New types of programmable logic devices are constantly emerging, and their internal structures are also evolving. In selecting teaching content, it is essential to keep pace with technological advancements. In terms of principles, emphasis should be placed on the structural characteristics of the devices, while in terms of usage, focus should be on corresponding design methods and mastering relevant EDA tools. This book was written by the author based on years of teaching and research experience. While introducing the general structure, principles, and design methods of programmable logic devices, it also covers two hardware description languages—ABEL-HDL and VHDL. Taking the Lattice ispLSI devices as the object and the corresponding EDA software—ispDesignEXPERT—as the tool, it discusses the design methods for ispLSI devices and related digital logic systems. The book aims to be closely related to specific devices but not confined to them, thereby enabling a better grasp of EDA technology and the use of high-density programmable logic devices.
From the perspective of digital system design, this book provides a concise and systematic introduction to programmable logic devices and their development, application, and technology. The content includes: the general structure and principles of in-system programmable logic devices, hardware description languages (ABEL-HDL and VHDL) as design tools, relevant EDA software, and digital system design methods based on programmable logic devices. In terms of material selection and organization, the book strives to combine theory with practice, progress from simple to complex, and advance in a step-by-step manner. With practical applications in mind, the book provides detailed discussions on digital system design methods using ABEL-HDL and VHDL, along with numerous representative examples. The selected devices and EDA development platforms are the widely used Lattice ispLSI devices and their development tools, ispDesignEXPERT design systems, which are commonly used in China.
This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in electronic, communication, automation, and computer-related disciplines. It can also be used as a reference for engineering and technical personnel in the aforementioned fields and related disciplines.
