Book Description

ISBN-10: 1402077106 | ISBN-13: 978-1402077104 | Publication Date: November 30, 2003 | Edition: 1

This text presents basic implementation strategies for arithmetic datapath designs and methodologies utilized in the digital system. The author implements various datapath designs for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Theory is presented to illustrate and explain why certain designs are chosen. Each implementation is discussed in terms of design choices and how particular theory is invoked in the hardware. Along with the theory that emphasizes the design in question, Verilog modules are presented for understanding the basic ideas that accompany each design. Structural models are implemented to guarantee correct synthesis and for incorporation into VLSI schematic-capture programs.

Review

From the reviews: "This book concentrates on basic implementation strategies for arithmetic datapath designs. It shows how to write efficient Verilog code to describe the arithmetic circuits. … The main objective of this small and nice book is to provide a good understanding of the arithmetic specifics of algorithms and points to their implementation strategies and methodologies used in the design of datapaths. … The book is well written and readers, using it, will enjoy … . All in all, I highly recommend this book." (Mile Stojcev, Microelectronics Reliability, Vol. 45, 2005)

5.0 out of 5 stars Code is easy to understand, March 19, 2004

This review is from: Digital Computer Arithmetic Datapath Design Using Verilog HDL: CD-ROM included (International Series in Operations Research>and Management Science) (Hardcover)

Book works well with other arithmetic books like Koren's. All the code is on a CD and its great to finally see an implementation that's easy to understand since its all written structurally.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too many missing details, September 6, 2005

This review is from: Digital Computer Arithmetic Datapath Design Using Verilog HDL: CD-ROM included (International Series in Operations Research>and Management Science) (Hardcover)

The content of this book is very disappointing. Too many details are missing. In many cases, the authors describe implementations without getting into the details of how they reached it. Because of these missing details, it is hard to understand the reasonning behind some of the trade-offs described in the book. It lacks clarity in several areas. Even with some experience in the area, I was left too many times trying to figure out what the authors meant.

I would have liked to review this book, but unfortunately Amazon twice sent me a defect book that did not have the CD.
