Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a device that provides a fast, inexpensive way for embedded system designers to customize products and deliver new versions with upgraded features, because they can handle functions that are very complex, and repeated an infinite number of times. Besides introducing architectural features that are available in the latest generation of FPGAs, The Design Warriors Guide to FPGAs also covers different design tools and flows. This book includes information ranging from entry-driven scheme, through traditional HDL / RTL-based simulation and logic synthesis, all the way up to the current state-art-in pure C / C + + design capture and synthesis technology. * First book to focus exclusively and comprehensively on FPGA use in embedded designs * World-renowned best-selling author * Will assist engineers familiar and successful with this new technology by providing much needed advice in choosing the appropriate FPGA for each design project
