Text on Tutorial on Field-Programmable Devices by Brown

(Contributed by Stan Baker of Stan Baker Associates)

"Field-Programmable Devices, Technology, Applications, Tools" by
Stephen D. Brown
is an excellent reference for all types of field-programmable
devices.  Dr. Brown is a popular lecturer (a 3-time returning speaker to
PLDCon)  and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.  He has done comprehensive
research into the architecture and CAD of Field-Programmable Devices and has
lectured throughout the United States and Canada on this topic.  

The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of field-programmable
devices that provides a clear understanding of 
what is available on the market today.  Fundamental technology 
issues are covered and the three main types of FPDs are described: 
Simple PLDs (SPLDs), Complex PLDs (CPLDs), and 
Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).   For each category of device, 
you'll find all of the most important state-of-the-art commercial products
described in detail, example applications discussed, and the CAD tool design
flow used when implementing circuits presented.
