VHDL for Programmable Logic

Whether you are a student looking for a dynamic, real-world introduction to an industry-standard HDL, or a professional engineer in need of a fast, effective approach to VHDL, VHDL for Programmable Logic will get you up to speed. This hands-on tutorial explains the architecture, features, and technologies of programmable logic and teaches how to write VHDL code for synthesis. Many practical design examples focus on state machine design, counters, shifters, arithmetic circuits, control logic, FIFOs, and other glue logic that designers typically implement in programmable logic. FEATURES/BENEFITS *Practical design examples focus on state machine design, counters, shifters, arithmetic circuits, control logic, FIFOs, and other glue logic that designers typically implement in programmable logic. *Included with the book is a CD-ROM containing Cypress Semiconductors Warp2, a fully functional professional VHDL synthesis tool for Windows PCs and Sun workstations. *Warp2 software does both CPLD and FPGA synthesis, as well as fitting, placement, and routing. *It includes an interactive waveform simulator that performs functional simulation of CPLD design. *Allows professionals to use VHDL
