Since the publication of the first edition of The Designer's Guide to VHDL in 1996, digital electronic systems have increased exponentially in their complexity, product lifetimes have dramatically shrunk, and reliability requirements have shot through the roof. As a result more and more designers have turned to VHDL to help them dramatically improve productivity as well as the quality of their designs.VHDL, the IEEE standard hardware description language for describing digital electronic systems, allows engineers to describe the structure and specify the function of a digital system as well as simulate and test it before manufacturing. In addition, designers use VHDL to synthesize a more detailed structure of the design, freeing them to concentrate on more strategic design decisions and reduce time to market. Adopted by designers around the world, the VHDL family of standards have recently been revised to address a range of issues, including portability across synthesis tools.This best-selling comprehensive tutorial for the language and authoritative reference on its use in hardware design at all levels--from system to gates--has been revised to reflect the new IEEE standard, VHDL-2001. Peter Ashenden, a member of the IEEE VHDL standards committee, presents the entire description language and builds a modeling methodology based on successful software engineering techniques. Reviewers on Amazon.com have consistently rated the first edition with five stars. This second edition updates the first, retaining the authors unique ability to teach this complex subject to a broad audience of students and practicing professionals. * Details how the new standard allows for increased portability across tools.* Covers related standards, including the Numeric Synthesis Package and the Synthesis Operability Package, demonstrating how they can be used for digital systems design.* Presents four extensive case studies to demonstrate and combine features of the language taught across multiple chapters.* Requires only a minimal background in programming, making it an excellent tutorial for anyone in computer architecture, digital systems engineering, or CAD.

Product Description: Suitable for use in a one- or two-semester course for computer and electrical engineering majors.   VHDL for Engineers, First Edition is perfect for anyone with a basic understanding of logic design and a minimal background in programming who desires to learn how to design digital systems using VHDL...read more

Product Description: This title isn’t a simplistic introduction to the popular hardware description language, but rather a rigorous tutorial showing designers how to deploy Verilog in sophisticated digital system designs. This new second edition completely updates the book – and the many worked examples – for the new standard Verilog 2001, as well as including new synthesis standards and detailing the new OVL verification library...read more

Provides a practical approach to Verilog design and problem solving. * Bulk of the book deals with practical design problems that design engineers solve on a daily basis. * Includes over 90 design examples. * There are 3 full scale design examples that include specification, architectural definition, micro-architectural definition, RTL coding, testbench coding and verification. * Book is suitable for use as a textbook in EE departments that have VLSI courses

Product Description: This book focuses on presenting the basic features of the VHDL language in the context of its use for both simulation and synthesis. Basic language concepts are motivated by familiarity with digital logic circuits with simulation and synthesis presented as complementary design processes...read more

Verilog aims to introduce new users to the language of Verilog with instruction on how to write hardware descriptions in Verilog in a style that can be synthesized by readily available synthesis tools. Offers clear exposition of the Verilog hardware description language. This book is written in a style that allows the user who has no previous background with hardware description languages (HDLs) to become skillful with the language. Features treatment of synthesis-friendly descriptive styles. An excellent book for self-study, reference, seminars, and workshops on the subject.

Product Description: This handy reference gives readers a thorough grounding in the basic concepts and language of VHDL, and encourages them to apply what they have learned using realistic examples. Concepts are followed by examples and tutorials. Adds appendices to support material: Includes a tutorial for a popular VHDL simulator; a handy reference to common VHDL packages; and a detailed template for a VHDL model illustrating the relative ordering of program constructs...read more

This Second Edition continues to use programmable logic as the primary vehicle for teaching digital design principles, and maintains its cutting-edge status by updating to Altera's newest Quartus II software, the most current method of digital design implementation. This Windows-based software allows users to design, test, and program CPLD designs in text-based (VHDL) and graphic (schematic entry) formats. The Second Edition introduces CPLDs earlier in the teaching sequence, laying a solid foundation for more advanced principles without neglecting underlying digital fundamentals such as Boolean algebra, logic minimization, and combinational and sequential circuits. VHDL and Quartus II applications are provided throughout.

Product Description: Introducing the Verilog HDL in a brief format, this book presents a selected set of the changes the popular hardware underwent in its first revision—emerging as IEEE Std 1364-2001 or Verilog-2001. It addresses the main features that support the design of combinational and sequential logic, and emphasizes synthesizable models, with a limited discussion of the theoretical framework for synthesis...read more
