Synopsis

More cost effective, more flexible, more reliable, more efficient, faster to market, and capable of more functionality than traditional logic or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits)—PLDs and FPGAs are in tremendous demand. This complete yet concise guide provides the information you need to meet that demand. Programmable Logic: PLDs and FPGAs gives you a clear introduction to programmable logic; fully worked design examples for PLDs and FPGAs; recyclable logic modules; shortcuts for migrating from PLDs to FPGAs and from FPGAs to ASICs; and more. From hardware to software issues and from programming to testing, Programmable Logic: PLDs and FPGAs gives you a complete kit for custom designing the digital logic components that industry and techology so avidly seek.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Meet the Demand For Customized Digital Logic. More cost effective, more flexible, more reliable, more efficient, faster to market, and capable of more functionality than traditional logic on ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits)--PLDs and FPGAs are an integral component of modern digital design. The need for programmable logic has created great demand for designers with this expertise. That's why this handy reference--a concise guide to the information you need to custom design logic--is so timely. Featuring clear expalnantions of PLD and FPGA design fundamentals, Programmable Logic: PLDs and FPGAs Give you: A clear introduction to programmable logic; Fully worked design examples for PLDs and FPGAs; Recyclable logic modules; An explanation of timing requirements; Coverage of benchmarking issues for PLD and FPGA technologies and architectures; Shortcuts for migrating from PLDs to FPGAs and from FPGAs to ASICs; This book also covers: HDL and Dialects suitable for PLD Design; VHDL and its suitability for FPGAs; Resource lists for further reading. From hardware to software issues and from programming to testing, Programming Logic: PLDs and FPGAs give you a complete kit for custom designing the digital logic components that industry and technology so avidly seek.
