DIGITAL SYSTEMS DESIGN WITH FPGAS AND CPLDS

Programmable logic has made it possible to create digital systems that are malleable allowing for updates, changes, and enhancements on the same chip making digital systems cost effective and quickly available. This book focuses on two types of this logic: field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs). Critical insight is provided via detailed discussions, worked examples, and case studies of circuit design principles and common design decisions. VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is introduced and used throughout the book as it is one of the primary languages used in programmable logic.
