FPGA Based Design and Applications (Integrated Circuits and Systems)

FPGA Based Design and Applications presents recent advances in field programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies, focusing primarily on applications, design methodology, and technology evolution. This book serves as a reference for FPGA based design and applications in networking and communication, digital signal processing, high-performance computation, and reconfigurable computing. Materials presented here are based on the most recent advances in FPGA technologies and system-level design tools. Leading researchers and industry experts provide insights into the capabilities of state-of-the-art FPGAs and technology trends.

FPGAs are at the forefront of technology innovation. An effective implementation of FPGA based design requires a thorough understanding of technological capabilities, design tools, and application requirements. This book provides a unified treatment of these topics for FPGA-centric design.

The FPGA architecture, its use model, and its application have transformed drastically over the last 10-15 years. FPGAs are no longer uses as simple glue logic. They are being deployed as system building components in applications such as digital signal processing, networking and communications, embedded designs, etc. Since end users of FPGAs are primarily interested in their use models, applications, and design infrastructure, a book focusing on these areas is highly useful.
