OFDM Wireless LANs: A Theoretical and Practical Guide

Good Digital Design Practices

It is important to understand good design practices to improve the speed and reliability of designs. More extensive coverage of good digital design practices, as well as exercises to help the reader understand the concepts better, can be found in the references for this section. The design practices presented here can be applied to any digital design and should be followed early in the design flow to save time and effort later. These design practices should be considered in doing the fixed-point digital design regardless of whether the target hardware is an FPGA or ASIC. As described earlier, HDS, as part of a rapid prototype design flow, is a tool that is intended to be a common language between system and hardware ...
