Really practical in nature, the book features (quantify when known) case study designs using a variety of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD), for various applications of control and instrumentation to semiconductor automatic test equipment. Key features include: * Case studies that provide a walk through the design process, highlighting the trade-offs involved. * Discussion of real-world problems such as choice of device, pin-out, power supply, power supply decoupling, signal integrity-for embedding in FPGA-based PCB design. With this book engineers will be able to: * Use PLD technology to develop digital and mixed signal system electronics * Develop a PLD-based designs using both schematic capture and VHDL synthesis techniques * Interface a PLD to digital systems and mixed-signal * Conduct a complete design exercises from concept design to build and test of electronic-based hardware PLD This book will be ideal for electronic and computer engineering students taking a course based on practical or Lab on digital systems development using PLDs and engineers in industry looking for concrete advice on developing digital systems using FPGA or CPLD as its core.
