About the book

The book is a comprehensive guide to modern FPGA chips, presenting from the practical side - on various, richly commented examples - technical solutions used in FPGA systems from the Xilinx family of Spartan 3. The examples in the book have been adapted for implementation on hardware platforms developed by the authors (including the ZL9PLD + ZL10PLD set), which significantly increases the practical value of the publication.

Comprehensive presentation of the issues discussed and a large number of described examples (all prepared in VHDL), allows to treat the book as a manual for students and engineers intending to learn from the practical side both the basics of the VHDL language and the principles of using internal functional blocks Spartan 3 systems and methods of attaching for FPGA external components and peripherals. Great emphasis on practical aspects of using modern programmable systems makes the book an excellent reading also for a wide range of modern electronics enthusiasts who want to broaden and / or update their knowledge.
