Introduction to Digital Design Using Digilent FPGA Boards: Block Diagram / VHDL Examples - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This book assumes no previous knowledge of digital design. We use 30 examples to show you how to get started designing digital circuits that you can implement on a Xilinx Spartan3E FPGA using either the Digilent BASYS™ system board that can be purchased from www.digilentinc.com or the Digilent Nexys-2 board. We will use Active-HDL from Aldec to design, simulate, synthesize, and implement the digital designs. A free student edition of Active-HDL is available from Aldec, Inc. (www.aldec.com). To synthesize your designs to a Spartan3E FPGA you will need to download the free Vivado WebPACK from Xilinx, Inc. (www.xilinx.com). The Xilinx synthesis tools are called from within the Aldec Active-HDL integrated GUI. A more complete book called Digital Design Using Digilent FPGA Boards – VHDL / Active-HDL Edition is also available from LBE Books (www.lbebooks.com). This more comprehensive book contains over 75 examples including examples of using the VGA and PS/2 ports. Similar books that use Verilog are also available from LBE Books.
