FPGAs

<p>Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are currently recognized as the most suitable platform for the implementation of complex digital systems targeting an increasing number of industrial electronics applications. They cover a huge variety of application areas such as: aerospace food industry art industrial automation automotive biomedicine process control military logistics power electronics chemistry sensor networks robotics ultrasound security and artificial vision. This book first presents the basic architectures of the devices to familiarize the reader with the fundamentals of FPGAs before identifying and discussing new resources that extend the ability of the devices to solve problems in new application domains. Design methodologies are discussed and application examples are included for some of these domains e.g. mechatronics robotics and power systems.</p>
