FPGA prototyping by VHDL examples; Xilinx Spartan -3 version.9780470185315 FPGA prototyping by VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. examples; Xilinx Spartan -3 version. Chu, Pong P. Wiley-Interscience 2008 440 pages $85.00 Hardcover TK7895 In this supplementary text for an introductory digital systems course or an advanced project-oriented course, Chu (electrical and computer engineering, Cleveland State U.) adopts a learning by doing approach to HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. (hardware description language (language) Hardware Description Language - (HDL) A kind of language used for the conceptual design of integrated circuits. Examples are VHDL and Verilog. ) and FPGA (field-programmable gate array (hardware) field-programmable gate array - (FPGA) A gate array where the logic network can be programmed into the device after its manufacture. An FPGA consists of an array of logic elements, either gates or lookup table RAMs, flip-flops and programmable interconnect wiring. ) devices to construct sophisticated digital systems. Following an overview of HDL and FPGA boards with suggested experiments, modules cover the design of more complex circuits/subsystems. Part III treats the PicoBlaze microcontroller that can be used as a general-purpose controller in an embedded-system project. All examples can be synthesized and tested on a prototyping board. Sample VHDL (VHSIC (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "viz-ick." Ultra-high-speed chips employing LSI and VLSI technologies. The term comes from the name of the program launched by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1980 to advance digital IC technology. hardware description language) templates are appended.
