This book uses a "learn by doing" approach to introduce the concepts and techniques of VHDL and FPGA to designers through a series of hands-on experiments. FPGA Prototyping by VHDL Examples provides a collection of clear, easy-to-follow templates for quick code development; a large number of practical examples to illustrate and reinforce the concepts and design techniques; realistic projects that can be implemented and tested on a Xilinx prototyping board; and a thorough exploration of the Xilinx PicoBlaze soft-core microcontroller.

Review
"The book is well organized and contains many useful synthesizable VHDL examples. Moreover, design concepts are clearly explained ā€¦ This book is indeed an excellent text for people who wish to learn PFGA and VHDL from practical examples and exercises." (Computing Reviews, February 18, 2009)

"Brimming with code examples, flowcharts and other illustrations, the book serves as a good starting point for a development project. It's recommended to anyone looking to get started with FPGA prototyping using VHDL." (Electronic Design, February 4, 2008)
