Programmable Logic Circuits, FPGA

This lecture covers the classification of logic circuits, including standard, programmable, and specific integrated circuits. It delves into the structure of reconfigurable logic gates, multiplexers, and memory elements in FPGA technology. The methodology for FPGA design, from behavioral to structural description levels, is explained, along with the use of VHDL and Verilog for circuit specification and validation. The lecture also explores the implementation process, tools like Altera Quartus II and Xilinx ISE, and the features of Altera Cyclone IV FPGA. It concludes with a detailed look at the architecture and interconnections of FPGA logic blocks.
