Description
Book SynopsisTimely, authoritative, application-oriented. an in-depthexploration of current and future uses of FPGAs in digital systemsThe development of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) may wellbe the most important breakthrough for the microelectronicsindustry since the invention of the microprocessor. Using FPGAs, asystem designer working on a PC can now develop a working prototypein a few hours and change it at will in just a few minutes, ratherthan waiting weeks or months for a printed-circuit assembly or acustom integrated circuit to be built. This newfound ability tochange a system by simply altering its configuration memory is alsoleading to exciting new forms of computing, such as arrayapplications that exploit parallelism. Now in a book that functionsequally well as a working professional reference and apedagogically consistent computer engineering text, John V.Oldfield and Richard C. Dorf:
* Provide a detailed overview of FPGAs in digital systemsdesign
* Explain the underly
