Features: PLD (Programmable Logic Device) and EDA (Electronic Design Automation) technology are the most commonly used devices and development methods in today's digital system design process. They are essential knowledge and skills that digital circuit designers must master. This book mainly includes three parts: The first part is about the hardware structure of PLDs. To use PLD devices for product development, one should first understand the basic structure of PLD devices. Since there are many manufacturers and types of PLD devices, it is not feasible to introduce them comprehensively. This book takes representative PLD devices produced by the American company Altera, which are widely used domestically and internationally in recent years, as examples to introduce the hardware structure and characteristics of complex PLD devices in a step-by-step manner. After understanding one type of PLD device, you can generalize to other manufacturers' PLD devices. The second part introduces Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) such as AHDL and VHDL, which are one of the key technologies in Electronic Design Automation (EDA), describing the hardware circuits of digital systems in hardware terms. The third part introduces an Altera PLD development tool, MAX+plusII. Through comprehensive design examples and experimental circuits, it explains the development process of PLDs. After studying this part, you will be able to participate in practical design and development work. This book can be used as a teaching material for undergraduate students in electronic, communication, and computer science. It is also suitable for teachers and students in related fields, as well as technical personnel engaged in digital circuit system design, for self-study and reference. Before reading this book, you should have a basic understanding of digital logic circuits.
