Features: Since the construction of digital circuit design on dedicated silicon wafers, digital design has increasingly been implemented in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). To achieve effective FPGA system design, a deep understanding of VLSI problems and constraints, as well as recent FPGA-specific technologies, is required. This book introduces all the topics that FPGA designers should master, including how and why they should be done. First, it covers the key points of VLSI, including its manufacturing, circuits, interconnections, combinational logic, sequential logic design, and system architecture. Then, it introduces knowledge reflecting modern VLSI design methods, fully leveraging the valuable characteristics of FPGAs to mitigate their limitations.
Book Features:
· Explains how VLSI characteristics affect FPGAs and FPGA-based logic design.
· The connection between traditional logic design techniques and FPGA-based logic design.
· Mastering the structure of basic programmable FPGAs.
· Specifying and optimizing logic to address issues of size, speed, and power consumption.
· Software tools for optimizing logic and design—Verilog and VHDL.
· Architectures for large digital systems, including register transfer design concepts.
· Building large platforms and multi-FPGA systems.
· A comprehensive DSP case study addressing various design challenges.
