Field-Programmable Gate Arrays: Reconfigurable Logic for Rapid Prototyping and Implementation of Digital Systems

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Timely, authoritative, application-oriented. an in-depthexploration of current and future uses of FPGAs in digital systemsThe development of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) may wellbe the most important breakthrough for the microelectronicsindustry since the invention of the microprocessor. Using FPGAs, asystem designer working on a PC can now develop a working prototypein a few hours and change it at will in just a few minutes, ratherthan waiting weeks or months for a printed-circuit assembly or acustom integrated circuit to be built. This newfound ability tochange a system by simply altering its configuration memory is alsoleading to exciting new forms of computing, such as arrayapplications that exploit parallelism. Now in a book that functionsequally well as a working professional reference and apedagogically consistent computer engineering text, John V.Oldfield and Richard C. Dorf: * Provide a detailed overview of FPGAs in digital systemsdesign * Explain the underlying principles, strengths, and limitations ofmost FPGA architectures * Supply many real-life case studies, from elementary to advancedapplications--including examples of "custom computingmachines" * Review cutting-edge developments, including new architectures anda new field-programmable interconnect chip * Discuss key economic and business aspects of FPGA manufacture andapplications and their role in intellectual propertyprotection * Demonstrate ways in which FPGAs offer plausible solutions to someof the major computing problems of our day This study explains the underlying principles, strengths and limitations of a range of field programmable gate array (FPGA) architectures. It presents a useful range of case studies, from elementary examples to advanced applications, and contains abundant references and illustrations.
