FPGAs and Their Role in the Design of Electronic Systems

FONT SIZE : AAA

This book is mainly intended for those users who have had certain experience in digital control systems design, but for some reason have not had the opportunity or the need to design with modern field- programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The book aims at providing a description of the possibilities of this technology, the methods and procedures that need to be followed in order to design and implement FPGA-based systems, and selection criteria on what are the best suitable and cost-effective solutions for a given problem or application. The focus of this book is on the context of embedded sys- tems for industrial use, although many concepts and explanations could be also valid for other fields such as high-performance computing (HPC). Even so, the field is so vast that the whole spectrum of specific applications and application domains is still tremendously large: transportation (including automotive, avionics, railways systems, naval industry, and any other trans- portation systems), manufacturing (control of production plants, automated manufacturing systems, etc.), consumer electronics (from small devices such as an air-conditioning remote controller to more sophisticated smart appli- ances), some areas within the telecom market, data management (including big data), military industry, and so forth. 

In this chapter, the concept of embedded systems is presented from a wide perspective, to later show the ways of approaching the design of embed- ded systems with different complexities. After introducing all possibilities, the focus is put on FPGA-related applications. Then, the basic concept of FPGA “programmability” or “configurability” is discussed, going into some description of the architectures, methods, and supported tools required to successfully carry out FPGA designs with different complexities (not only in terms of size but also in terms of internal features and design approaches).
