Designing DSP with FPGA

by David Money Harris

Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays

Recent trends have shown a clear need for technologies that offer rapid prototyping, programmability, and re-use capabilities. When developing embedded systems with the above capabilities, various components are used, including computer processors/microcontrollers, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), memory, and input/output peripheral devices, to name a few. FPGAs tend to be the go-to platforms to increase the processing speed for hardware acceleration in applications such as Genomic research, financial analysis, and video processing.

About the author

David Money Harris is the Harvey S. Mudd Professor of Engineering Design at Harvey Mudd College. Dr. Harris received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1999 and his S.B. and M. Eng. degrees from MIT in 1994. His research interests include high speed CMOS VLSI design and computer arithmetic. He is the author or coauthor of CMOS VLSI Design: A Circuits and Systems Perspective, Digital Design and Computer Architecture, Logical Effort, Skew-Tolerant Circuit Design, and numerous hiking guidebooks including Afoot and Afield Inland Empire, Afoot and Afield Los Angeles County, Afoot and Afield Orange County, 101 Hikes Southern California, Trails of the Angeles, San Bernardino Mountain Trails, and Day & Section Hikes Pacific Crest Trail: SoCal. He holds a dozen patents, has written numerous papers, and has designed microprocessors at Intel Corporation, Hewlett Packard, Sun Microsystems, and Broadcom, and his passion for chips is reflected in his books on the subject. He began his hiking adventures as a wee tot on his father's back and has been exploring the mountains and deserts ever since. Now, his own three boys are frequent companions on these trips.
