The goal is not to teach how to design and fabricate an FPGA or show how to develop computer-aided design (CAD) tools for FPGA devices. Nonetheless, to meet the complex performance metrics described in the previous chapter, a good system designer has to understand how the programmable logic devices are manufactured, their basic electrical characteristics, and their general architectures. Unfortunately, the 10,000-meter view of FPGA devices of the first chapter is insufficient. Certain ...
