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).
