CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER 2: XILINX SILICON SOLUTIONS
CHAPTER 3: XILINX DESIGN SOFTWARE
Whether you design with discrete logic, base all of your designs on microcontrollers, or
simply want to learn how to use the latest and most advanced programmable logic
software, you will find this book an interesting insight into a different way to design.
Programmable logic devices were invented in the late 1970s and have since proved to be
very popular, becoming one of the largest growing sectors in the semiconductor industry.
Why are programmable logic devices so widely used? Besides offering designers ultimate
flexibility, programmable logic devices also provide a time-to-market advantage and
design integration. Plus, they are easy to design with and can be reprogrammed time and
time again – even in the field – to upgrade system functionality.
This book details the history of programmable logic devices; where and how to use them;
how to install the free, fully functioning design software (Xilinx WebPACK ISE software is
included with this book); and then guides you through your first designs. After you have
finished your first design, this book will prove useful as a reference guide or quick start
handbook. There are also sections on VHDL and schematic capture design entry, as well as
a data bank of useful applications examples. I hope you find this book practical,
informative, and above all easy to use.

This book was written for both the professional engineer who has never designed using
programmable logic devices and for the new engineer embarking on an exciting career in
electronics design. To accommodate these two audiences, we offer the following
navigation section, to help you decide in advance which sections would be most useful.
Chapter 1 is an overview of how and where PLDs are used and gives a brief history of
programmable logic devices.
Chapter 2 describes the different silicon products offered by Xilinx. The Xilinx portfolio
includes CPLD and FPGA devices.
Chapter 3 describes the software flow for CPLD and FPGA devices. It also introduces the
Xilinx ISE WebPACK design software detailing the procedure necessary to successfully
install the software.
