Overview

FPGA designers who target low-cost systems are attempting to pack as much logic as possible into FPGA devices and at the same time need the best performance possible. In this presentation, Lattice Semiconductor provides practical advice on how to write VHDL code that will produce the most efficient implementation in FPGA devices. It will cover detailed do's and don'ts of synthesis coding styles and illustrate the optimization differences with actual FPGA area and timing results.
