DESCRIPTION:
From the author For your convenience, I am publishing errata on my website: []Background on the book:After having been exposed to a wide variety of designs in a wide range of industries, I began developing my own arsenal of techniques and heuristics from the combined knowledge of these experiences. When mentoring new FPGA design engineers, I draw my suggestions and recommendations from this experience. Up until now, many of these recommendations have referenced specific white papers and application notes (appnotes) that discuss specific. Great FPGA Reference Book Ryan Link This is a great reference book for any level FPGA designer. This book skips past the basics unlike most books on FPGA design and jumps right into advanced topics that practical FPGA designers need to be aware of.Plenty of discussion on the trade offs that must be faced in FPGA design based on you desired optimization target (speed, size, & power) and discussion of methods to achieve that goal. Lots of practical example code is used to illustrate each topic.Discussion of simulation techniques and coverage which is becomin. looking for nuggets, but came out empty handed I had really high hopes for this book based on the other reviews, but found it to be lacking.Doing FPGA design for a living I'm more than happy to spend $90 on any book that can teach me something new and useful.Unfortunately that didn't happen with this one.The book gives a good overview of the design process and tool flow. It also looks at some of the design mistakes a beginner might make. However having the word "Advanced" in the title made me hope for something more substantialMy recommendation for anyone with more t
In practice, an engineer typically needs to be mentored for several years before these principles are appropriately utilized. The topics that will be discussed in this book are essential to designing FPGA's beyond moderate complexity. This book provides the advanced issues of FPGA design as the underlying theme of the work. The goal of the book is to present practical design techniques that are otherwise only available through mentorship and real-world experience.
"Advanced FPGA Design is an excellent and concise reference book that is suitable for engineers already familiar with the fundamentals of FPGA design. (IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, November 2008)
