A note from the publisher

Thank you for your interest in this technical series book from Synopsys and our partners. We at Synopsys Press are excited to introduce the FPGA-Based Prototyping Methodology Manual (FPMM), which, like our previous successful Methodology Manuals (e.g., Verification Methodology Manual for Low Power (VMM-LP), aims not only to educate practitioners but also inform leaders.

We are particularly pleased that so many experts were involved in the creation of the contents and for the extensive peer review. At the end of each chapter we acknowledge to those who made a significant contribution to its content.

To learn more about this Synopsys Press book and the others in both the technical and business series, please visit www.synopsys.com/synopsys_press.

We hope you enjoy the book,
