Advanced FPGA Design - Architecture, One thing to note about this book is that it will not flow from cover to cover
like a novel. For a set of advanced topics that are not intrinsically tied to one
another, this type of flow is impossible without blatantly filling it with fluff.
Instead, to organize this book, I have ordered the chapters in such a way that they
follow a typical design flow. The first chapters discuss architecture, then simulation,
then synthesis, then floorplanning, and so on. This is illustrated in the
Flowchart of Contents provided at the beginning of the book. To provide
xiii
accessibility for future reference, the chapters are listed side-by-side with the
relevant block in the flow diagram.
