FPGA Architecture

Hi,
I searched net and found few insufficient sources. I need to learn architectures of FPGAs and CPLDs. Which approaches are point at issue? Can you advise book or source that discuss this point widely?

regards,
 

Re: FPGA Architecture

Thank you. But "Design Warrior's Guide to FPGAs" doesn't answer my requirement. It contains rather different design flows expect early few chapters. I need to know how FPGA chip can be designed with different approachs at RTL.
 

Re: FPGA Architecture

Hello

You will than have to see a couple of HDL books that are targeted towards FPGAs. You can have a look at VHDL programming by example. It is available here at EDA board.
 

Re: FPGA Architecture

"dddhacker", i followed your advice. i will compulsorily use them fragmentary.
On the other hand i don't understand why down quantity is increasing exponentially.(?)

that doesn't mean i don't need another advice.

thanks.
 

Re: FPGA Architecture

umm i shall upload a document comparing FPGA and CPLD architectures.so does it have some comparison between FPGA and ASIC

take a look and let me know..

with regards,
 

Re: FPGA Architecture

thanks for your interest. "FPGA and ASIC" comparison and "FPGA and CPLD" slide copy are both informative. But they can't answer my need.

as i posted in request part, these books can help me that i found. But i can't get anyone.

Architecture and CAD for Deep-Submicron Fpgas
by Vaughn Betz, Jonathan Rose, Alexander Marquardt
(Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science)

Low-Energy Fpgas: Architecture and Design
by Varghese George, Jan M. Rabaey
(Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, 625)


good works.

that doesn't mean i don't need another advice
 

Re: FPGA Architecture

I have books on LOW POWER CMOS design.. and i have Rabey's lectures.. might not have the same excat book which you need..

could u tell me chapters in detail that you want.. i wud search for the slides and post them..

with regards,
 

Re: FPGA Architecture

Hi ,
Attached Dr. Varghese George thesis on "low energy FPGA design", I think that this could be usefull for you, Check it...
 
Re: FPGA Architecture

I'm sorry "arunragavan" i don't understand you exactly.
But thanks for your interest.
"hamadeh" Although i glanced over the thesis, i can say it will help me.
Thank you.

Re: FPGA Architecture

recommend a very good book
Best Roland E "phase locked looop theory,desigh and application"
 

Re: FPGA Architecture

I still think the very best way to learn is to look at for example datasheet and app notes from Xilinx website. You can also download the Web software package called: Xilinx Web ISE from Xilinx for free. The software can let you program, synthesize, simulate, place and route and a lot more things.
 

FPGA Architecture

different chip has different interior structure, you need to study the handbook related.
 

FPGA Architecture

specs of xilinx and altera maybe helpful to you!
resort to the website of xilinx and altera.
 

Re: FPGA Architecture

Hello,

What exactly do you need to study/want to learn about FPGA's and CPLD's? Please be more specific, and probably we can formulate some guidance to your search.
As suggested above, different vendors have different architectures.

If you want to learn how to use FPGA's and CPLD's, that's a completely different approach. I would then recommend downloading the design software of Xilinx, Altera, Lattice, Actel or try to get grip of their free software. In that way, you will find out which family comes closest to your requirements.

I don't see any other reason why you should need to study architectures - except maybe if you are seeking a job opportunity in this business. And even then, the best way to go is to have ASIC design experience. The vendors usually give their designers very specific tasks, and after building FPGA experience, they can climb the ladder.

I hope this response kind of answers your generalistic questions, if not, try to be specific.

Best regards
