Digital Design from Scratch with VHDL in FPGAs: Volume 2, Running with Logical Legs

by Blaine C. Readler

Using the fundamentals fuel gathered from the first book, volume 2 of Digital Design from Scratch, launches the inquisitive reader into practical realms of FPGA design, mastering iconic FPGA implementation features such as simulation, memory structures, memory-mapped buses, FIFOs, serial interfaces such as UARTs, I2C, and SPI, and pipelined methods to meet timing. Like the first volume, colorful diagrams guide the learning process with visual clarity. Detailed exercises allow the student of digital design to flex their burgeoning logical muscles. Comprehensive and approachable, the book teaches the VHDL programming language in parallel with FPGA-based logic design.
