| Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
This book provides the advanced issues of FPGA design as the underlying theme of the work. In practice, an engineer typically needs to be mentored for several years before these principles are appropriately utilized. The topics that will be discussed in this book are essential to designing FPGA's beyond moderate complexity. The goal of the book is to present practical design techniques that are otherwise only available through mentorship and real-world experience.

• Great Fpga Reference Book 19 August, 2007
This is a great reference book for any level FPGA designer. This book skips past the basics unlike most books on FPGA design and jumps right into advanced topics that practical FPGA designers need to be aware of.
Plenty of discussion on the trade offs that must be faced in FPGA design based on you desired optimization target (speed, size, & power) and discussion of methods to achieve that goal. Lots of practical example code is used to illustrate each topic.
Discussion of simulation techniques and coverage which is becoming a key factor in verifying HDL based designs.
This book contains several topics that I have been waiting to see discussed well in a textbook including floorplanning and the pitfall of using asynchronous resets.
Besides HDL design techniques, the author discusses the PCB level design methodologies that must be used when designing an FPGA into a system. This disscussion is a great complement to this already fine book.

• Practical Application Of Fpga Design Principles 10 February, 2008
while there's a veritable sea of books discussing VHDL and other hardware design technologies, there's precious little in the realm of practical, roll up your sleeves and get the job done FPGA design info.
mr. kilts takes a very pragmatic hands-on approach to FPGA design and implementation with logs of examples, practical board level design advice and a book layout that focuses on what you need to get the job done.
the coverage of simulation techniques and considerations alone, is worth the price.

• Excellent Coverage Of Fpga Design 09 July, 2007
I felt the author was well versed in real-world FPGA design. This book doesn't discuss any of the basics, but does an excellent job in explaining topics such as architecting for speed, synthesis, and place and route optimization, etc. This is the most useful FPGA book that I've read.

• Very Pleased With Book 09 July, 2007
I found the book to be quite helpful. I liked the presentation of practical examples. I would recommend this book any serious FPGA designer.

• The Real Design Warriors Guide 30 July, 2007
Finally! A book that actually talks about advanced design techniques instead of giving a historical overview of FPGA design.
I have to admit that I didn't read this book cover to cover. Rather, I use it for reference as needed. It's starting to get that same tabbed look that my other reference books have.
