Product Description
This book describes all aspects of digital system design using FPGAs. FPGA Based System Design describes techniques for combinational and sequential logic design and how classical logic design techniques relate to FPGA-based logic design. It also describes the design of complex FPGA-based system such as platform FPGA-based design and multi-FPGA systems. IEEE fellow Wayne Wolf also demonstrates how VLSI characteristics affect the properties of FPGAs and FPGA-based logic design. This book also provides a thorough introduction to FPGAs for those interested in the VLSI aspects of FPGA systems.

 save your money March 21, 2006

I agree with the other negative reviews. This book is a complete waste of money. It only covers the basics--and not very well. The chapter on FPGA fabrics had me scratching my head. I was able to find much better (and much less expensive) resources online. Trust me, there's no topic this book covers that you can't find for free on the Internet. Don't waste your money. Just because someone's from Princeton doesn't mean they know how to write a book.

I was really disappointed with this book. It does not explain enough FPGA programming to get started, and spends much time covering topics that are probably of interest to people who already know how to use an FPGA and want to use it better.However, as far as I can tell about this, it seems to be an excellent complement to an introduction to FPGAs design. The inner workings of the system are explained in depth and very clearly.

A entry level book, with too much time spent on VLSI issues, with a lot of large screenshoots & large pictures just to fill in the space.
The mentioned "A start-to-finish DSP case study addressing a wide range of design problems" which made me buy the book is a joke. It's hardly a advanceed DSP unit, more a Harward architecture CPU which implements 5 or 6 instructions and no advanced functionality and design issues which might arise in a complex design.
You can find much better synthethiable cores free on internet to learn from them. Save your money if you are anything but a beginer in FPGA.
 An Excellent Contemporary (2004) Text! September 2, 2004

This contemporary text by Wayne Wolf is an excellent work. For an EE or CS looking for just one book to own on FPGA design and reconfigurable computing, this is it.
