This book teaches the fundamentals of FPGA operation, covering basic CMOS transistor theory to designing digital FPGA chips using LUTs, flip-flops, and embedded memories. Ideal for electrical engineers aiming to design large digital chips using FPGA technology.
Discover:
- The inner workings of FPGA architecture and functionality.
- Hardware Description Languages (HDL) like Verilog and VHDL.
- The EDA tool flow for converting HDL source into a functional FPGA chip design.
- Insider tips for reliable, low power, and high performance FPGA designs.
Example designs include:
- Computer-to-FPGA UART serial communication.
- An open-source Sump3 logic analyzer implementation.
- A fully functional graphics controller.
What you need:
- Digilent BASYS3 or similar FPGA eval board with an AMD/Xilinx FPGA.
- Vivado EDA tool suite (available for download from AMD website free of charge).
- Project source files available from author's GitHub site (github.com/blackmesalabs).
