Klappentext Focusing on resource awareness in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) design, this work covers the principle of FPGAs and their functionality. It provides an accessible overview of the use of FPGAs in data acquisition, signal processing, and transmission and contains many hands-on examples drawn from diverse fields, such as high-energy physics and radiobiology. The authors emphasize sound design practices that encourage the saving of limited silicon resources and power consumption. They also offer VHDL code, detailed schematics of selected projects, photographs, and more on a supporting website. Zusammenfassung Emphasizing concepts and practical examples, this book presents an introduction to applications of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in various fields of research. It covers the principle of FPGAs and their functionality. The book explores how FPGAs work and how they are programmed to specific areas of applications in physics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction.
