Fundamentals of VHDL for FPGA Programming Using Vivado - by Majid Pakdel (Hardcover)

About the Book

"As technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, the ability to effectively design and implement digital systems has become increasingly essential. This book, "Fundamentals of VHDL for FPGA Programming using Vivado," serves as a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts and practical skills necessary for designing digital circuits with VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) and implementing them on FPGA platforms. My goal is to equip readers with the knowledge required to navigate the complexities of VHDL programming and Vivado design flows, enabling them to bring their innovative ideas to life"-- Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

Enables readers to understand VHDL in the context of FPGA programming with a focus on the Vivado Design Suite

Fundamentals of VHDL for FPGA Programming Using Vivado is a comprehensive guide designed to introduce readers to VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and its application in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) programming, particularly using the Vivado Design Suite by Xilinx. The inclusion of hands-on protocol-based projects for FPGA and MicroBlaze allows readers to apply what they have learned in practical scenarios, helping to reinforce understanding and develop problem-solving skills.

This book includes information on:

• What FPGAs are, how they work, and why they are widely used in digital systems due to various advantages
• Basic concepts of VHDL necessary for understanding digital design, including syntax, data types, and structures
• Best practices in VHDL coding and FPGA design to enhance the quality of designs and reduce debugging time
• The Vivado toolchain and its use in designing, simulating, and implementing VHDL code on FPGA devices

Accessible yet comprehensive, Fundamentals of VHDL for FPGA Programming Using Vivado is an essential learning resource for students aiming to start their careers in FPGA or VLSI system design and new professionals in the FPGA field seeking to build foundational skills and knowledge.
