Book Description

Timely, authoritative, application-oriented. an in-depth exploration of current and future uses of FPGAs in digital systems The development of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) may well be the most important breakthrough for the microelectronics industry since the invention of the microprocessor. Using FPGAs, a system designer working on a PC can now develop a working prototype in a few hours and change it at will in just a few minutes, rather than waiting weeks or months for a printed-circuit assembly or a custom integrated circuit to be built. This newfound ability to change a system by simply altering its configuration memory is also leading to exciting new forms of computing, such as array applications that exploit parallelism. Now in a book that functions equally well as a working professional reference and a pedagogically consistent computer engineering text, John V. Oldfield and Richard C. Dorf:
* Provide a detailed overview of FPGAs in digital systems design
* Explain the underlying principles, strengths, and limitations of most FPGA architectures
* Supply many real-life case studies, from elementary to advanced applications--including examples of "custom computing machines"
* Review cutting-edge developments, including new architectures and a new field-programmable interconnect chip
* Discuss key economic and business aspects of FPGA manufacture and applications and their role in intellectual property protection
* Demonstrate ways in which FPGAs offer plausible solutions to some of the major computing problems of our day

From the Publisher

Concerned with reprogrammable FPGAs, a new type of application-specific integrated circuit which permits design engineers to program and change the chip itself by using a computer terminal. Discusses alternative means by which a logic system may be realized and the variety of technologies available. Reviews logical factors of digital systems and the architecture of FPGAs along with the options and trade-offs for diverse approaches. Contains a number of case studies of small- and modest-scale designs implemented on different FPGA architectures plus a substantial example of a parallel controller which stretched the limits of an FPGA architecture and its supporting CAD software. Features a perspective on the start-up and growth of new companies in the field.
