Book Description

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have now become a core part of most modern electronic and computer systems. However, to implement your ideas in the real world, you need to get your head around the FPGA architecture, its toolset, and critical design considerations.

This book will briefly describe FPGAs and then show you how to apply them to your problems using a low-cost board and some free software. It discusses how to use the Xilinx ISE WebPACK software to build FPGA designs for the XuLA FPGA board.

• Explore different FPGA usage methods and the FPGA tool flow
• Learn how to design, test, and implement hardware circuits using VHDL and/or schematics.
• Build real-world FPGA projects such as a calculator and a keyboard using FPGA resources

• FPGAs for Dummies (Andrew Moore)

  If you are completely new to FPGAs, or if you want a refreshing high level view of what FPGAs are and what are the future trends in the field, it will help you understand the practical uses of FPGAs.

• Introducing the Spartan-3E FPGA and VHDL (Mike Field)

  This is an introduction to FPGAs and VHDL. It discusses the low level details of working with FPGAs, rather than diving straight into the System on a Chip (SOAC) level. The book examples are mainly oriented to Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA.

• Free Range VHDL: The No-frills Guide to Writing Powerful Code

  The purpose of this book is to provide students and young engineers with a guide to help them develop the skills necessary to be able to use VHDL for introductory and intermediate level digital design.

• Guide to Synthesis and Tools for VHDL Modeling and Design

  This book presents an integrated approach to digital design principles, processes, and implementations to help the reader design much more complex systems within a shorter design cycle. This is accomplished by introducing digital design concepts, VHDL coding, VHDL simulation, synthesis commands, and strategies together.

• The VHDL Golden Reference Guide (DOULOS)

  Packed with practical advice distilled from years of experience teaching VHDL courses, this book is designed for the experienced design engineer, offers answers to the questions most often asked during practical application, in a convenient reference format.

• VHDL Handbook (Hardi Electronics)

  This book has become a standard reference in the industry for learning the features of VHDL and using it to verify hardware designs, with many complete examples used to illustrate the features of the VHDL language.

• The VHDL Cookbook, First Edition (Peter J. Ashenden)

  The book begins with the basics of VHDL, which, like any software language, has keywords, operators, flow control statements, and programming conventions, then moves on to more complicated models, such as a design for a complete CPU.

• VHDL Tutorials (Douglas L. Perry, Weijun Zhang)

  These tutorials give a brief overview of the VHDL language and is mainly intended as a companion for the Digital Design Laboratory. This writing aims to give the reader a quick introduction to VHDL and to give a complete or in-depth discussion of VHDL.

• VHDL Reference Guide (Xilinx and Synopsys)

  This book is an essential guide for people working in computer hardware design and synthesis, combines a comprehensive reference of the VHDL syntax with tutorial and workshop materials that guide to the principles of digital hardware design.

• Verilog HDL: A Guide to Digital Design and Synthesis, 2nd Edition

  This complete reference progresses logically from the most fundamental Verilog concepts to today's most advanced digital design techniques. Written for both experienced students and newcomers, it offers broad coverage of Verilog HDL from a practical design perspective.
