Programmable logic devices are a genuine competitor to standard logic on the one hand and to masked application-specific ICs on the other. The total market size is over a billion dollars, with a huge potential for further growth. These devices are capable of being a great boon to electronics design engineers and as one of the few books on the subject, this reference work aims to meet a strongly felt need. The early chapters in the book are a summary of the basics of semiconductor devices and the principles of logic. All the currently available architectures are then described in detail, and design methods covered. The book concludes with an extensive treatment of applications, from simple logic to more complex functions; applications given are diverse enough to show how most logic requirements may be fitted into programmable logic devices.

This book, for the established electronics design engineer, student and technician, is a thorough introduction to programmable logic. Geoff Bostock will take you to a level where you, as a designer, can take full advantage of the growing product range of ASICS and other self-programmable arrays used in computer and control systems.

Programmable Logic Handbook, Second Edition

Newnes

This is the most comprehensive practical guide to designing with FPGAs and programmable LSI.  Programmable logic devices (PLDs) have been in general use for over twenty years. The demands of modern electronic design mean that traditional PAL technology has given way to a powerful new approach: field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. This book shows a designer how to choose the appropriate FPGA and design method for any application. It also gives hints and tips, based on the author's wide experience in the field, to allow designers to optimise performance of any particular family of devices.  The design process for an FPGA needs to be far more rigorous than for PAL since troubleshooting is far harder to perform. There are, moreover, a dozen or more manufacturers of FPGAs, each with a different architecture and performance, so choosing the right device for any particular application is a critical part of the design process. Similarly there are various design methods, each with particular features. This book covers them all and gives a designer the benefit of Geoff Bostock's valuable experience.
