True to form, hislatest book on FPGAs is enjoyable to read. Yet it's also rich in thetechnical details that any modern designer would need. - WirelessSystems Design, August 2004

      Book Description
Field Programmable GateArrays (FPGAs) are devices that provide a fast, low-cost way forembedded system designers to customize products and deliver newversions with upgraded features, because they can handle verycomplicated functions, and be reconfigured an infinite number of times.In addition to introducing the various architectural features availablein the latest generation of FPGAs, The Design Warriors Guide to FPGAsalso covers different design tools and flows.

Thisbook covers information ranging from schematic-driven entry, throughtraditional HDL/RTL-based simulation and logic synthesis, all the wayup to the current state-of-the-art in pure C/C++ design capture andsynthesis technology. Also discussed are specialist areas such as mixedhardward/software and DSP-based design flows, along with innovative newdevices such as field programmable node arrays (FPNAs).

Clive"Max" Maxfield is a bestselling author and engineer with a largefollowing in the electronic design automation (EDA)and embedded systemsindustry. In this comprehensive book, he covers all the issues ofinterest to designers working with, or contemplating a move to, FPGAsin their product designs. While other books cover fragments of FPGAtechnology or applications this is the first to focus exclusively andcomprehensively on FPGA use for embedded systems.

* First book to focus exclusively and comprehensively on FPGA use in embedded designs

* World-renowned best-selling author

*Will help engineers get familiar and succeed with this new technologyby providing much-needed advice on choosing the right FPGA for anydesign project
