Details, step-by-step, how to design VLSI systems using Verilog

Provides hands-on experience on the popular industrial CAD tools

Shows the way to design systems that are device, vendor and technology independent

Offers thorough knowledge of cracking complex algorithms and mapping it on FPGA/ASIC

Prepares students to suit industries and research labs from day one

This book is both a tutorial and a reference for engineers who use the SystemVerilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) to design ASICs and FPGAs. The book shows how to write SystemVerilog models at the Register Transfer Level (RTL) that simulate and synthesize correctly, with a focus on proper coding styles and best practices.

This book is a collection of short articles on various aspects of FPGA design: synthesis, simulation, porting ASIC designs, floorplanning and timing closure, design methodologies, performance, area and power optimizations, RTL coding, IP core selection, and many others.

• Presents unique ideas to interpret digital logic in the Verilog RTL form
• Consists of practical scenarios and issues that are helpful to students and professionals
• Covers key case studies in generic forms and more than 100 practical examples

This book covers basic fundamentals of logic design and advanced RTL design concepts using VHDL. The book is organized to describe both simple and complex RTL design scenarios using VHDL. It gives practical information on the issues in ASIC prototyping using FPGAs, design challenges and how to overcome practical issues and concerns

The new book FPGAs: Fundamentals, Advanced Features, and Applications in Industrial Electronics presents all the facets of today’s field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. The aim of the authors is to offer engineers and, more generally, readers who have experience in industrial electronics a good understanding of both the basics and the latest trends related to FPGAs.

VLIW Microprocessor Hardware Design offers you a complete guide to VLIW hardware design―providing state-of-the-art coverage of microarchitectures, RTL coding, ASIC flow, and FPGA flow of design. The book also contains a wide range of skills-building examples, all worked using Verilog, that equip you with a practical, hands-on tutorial for understanding each step in the VLIW microprocessor design process.

This book is concerned with the emerging field of High Performance Reconfigurable Computing (HPRC), which aims to harness the high performance and relative low power of reconfigurable hardware–in the form Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)–in High Performance Computing (HPC) applications. It presents the latest developments in this field from applications, architecture, and tools and methodologies points of view. We hope that this work will form a reference for existing researchers in the field, and entice new researchers and developers to join the HPRC community.

Presents a complete, field-tested methodology for FPGA design, focused on reuse across design teams

Offers best practices for FPGA timing closure, in-system debug, and board design

Details techniques to resolve common pitfalls in designing with FPGAs
