This course is an introductive class of FPGA and CPLD fundamentals. It
essentially covers general PLD architecture, general PLD design flow,
VHDL and Verilog language, Xilinx CPLD and FPGA offerings. Device
architecture, market position, key features and typical application of
each Xilinx CPLD/FPGA family including Coolrunner II CPLD, Spartan 3
FPGA, Virtex4 FPGA and Virtex5 FPGA are introduced. In this class,
Xilinx ISE which is an integrated software tools for Xilinx PLD design
is also introduced.
