What if you could use software to design hardware? Not just any hardware–imagine specifying the behavior of a complex parallel computer, sending it to a chip, and having it run on that chip–all without any manufacturing? With Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), you can design such a machine with your mouse and keyboard.

This book provides the basic knowledge necessary to understand how to design and analyze basic digital logic systems and to know how to simulate these systems using hardware description languages. The systems here include digital logic circuits such as: adders, multiplexers, decoders, multipliers, flip-flops, latches, counters, sequential state machines, cache memories, and basic computers, simplified biological mechanisms that describe the operation of organs such as the kidney, mathematical models (e.g., factorial, greatest of N numbers, multiplication algorithms, polynomials), and artificial intelligence (e.g., artificial neural networks).

Learn how to design digital circuits with FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays), the devices that reconfigure themselves to become the very hardware circuits you set out to program. With this practical guide, author Justin Rajewski shows you hands-on how to create FPGA projects, whether you’re a programmer, engineer, product designer, or maker. You’ll quickly go from the basics to designing your own processor.
