Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems / Edition 1

by James O. Hamblen, Michael D. Furman, Tyson S. Hall

Overview

This book provides an exciting and challenging laboratory component for an undergraduate digital logic design class. The more advanced topics and exercises are also appropriate for an upper level course in digital logic or embedded systems. The goal of this text is to introduce fully integrated modern CAD tools, logic simulation, logic synthesis using hardware description languages, design hierarchy, current generation field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology, and SOPC design in the laboratory portion of the course. Even student laboratory projects can now implement entire digital and computer systems with hundreds of thousands of gates.
