This book teaches the fundamentals of FPGA operation, covering basic CMOS transistor theory to designing digital FPGA chips using LUTs, flip-flops, and embedded memories. Ideal for electrical engineers aiming to design large digital chips using FPGA technology.

Discover:

• The inner workings of FPGA architecture and functionality.
• Hardware Description Languages (HDL) like Verilog and VHDL.
• The EDA tool flow for converting HDL source into a functional FPGA chip design.
• Insider tips for reliable, low power, and high performance FPGA designs.

Example designs include:

• Computer-to-FPGA UART serial communication.
• An open-source Sump3 logic analyzer implementation.
• A fully functional graphics controller.

What you need:

• Digilent BASYS3 or similar FPGA eval board with an AMD/Xilinx FPGA.
• Vivado EDA tool suite (available for download from AMD website free of charge).
• Project source files available from author's GitHub site (github.com/blackmesalabs).
