Description
Kick off with the MAX1000 and VHDPlus
Ready to Master FPGA Programming? In this guide, we’re diving into the world of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) – a configurable integrated circuit that can be programmed after manufacturing. Imagine bringing your ideas to life, from simple projects to complete microcontroller systems!
Meet the MAX1000: a compact and budget-friendly FPGA development board packed with features like memory, user LEDs, push-buttons, and flexible I/O ports. It’s the ideal starting point for anyone wanting to learn about FPGAs and Hardware Description Languages (HDLs).
In this book, you’ll get hands-on with the VHDPlus programming language – a simpler version of VHDL. We’ll work on practical projects using the MAX1000, helping you gain the skills and confidence to unleash your creativity.
Get ready for an exciting journey! You’ll explore a variety of projects that highlight the true power of FPGAs. Let’s turn your ideas into reality and embark on your FPGA adventure – your journey starts now!
Exciting Projects You’ll Find in This Book
- Arduino-Driven BCD to 7-Segment Display Decoder
- Use an Arduino Uno R4 to supply BCD data to the decoder, counting from 0 to 9 with a one-second delay
- Multiplexed 4-Digit Event Counter
- Create an event counter that displays the total count on a 4-digit display, incrementing with each button press
- PWM Waveform with Fixed Duty Cycle
- Generate a PWM waveform at 1 kHz with a fixed duty cycle of 50%
- Ultrasonic Distance Measurement
- Measure distances using an ultrasonic sensor, displaying the results on a 4-digit 7-segment LED
- Electronic Lock
- Build a simple electronic lock using combinational logic gates with push buttons and an LED output
- Temperature Sensor
- Monitor ambient temperature with a TMP36 sensor and display the readings on a 7-segment LED
