Book Description

Publication Date: May 11, 1993 | ISBN-10: 0138552061 | ISBN-13: 978-0138552060 | Edition: 1st

Previous books on this subject have concentrated just on the VHDL hardware description language without really teaching the design process. This new reference really shows how to design with VHDL in a synthesis context.

From the Back Cover

Previous books on this subject have concentrated just on the VHDL hardware description language without really teaching the design, process. This new reference really shows how to design with VHDL in a synthesis context. Unlike the other books, it teaches the VHDL language in detail and gives numerous examples of VHDL models used in different aspects of the design process; describes design at three different levels of abstraction: algorithmic, data flow, and gate level; illustrates the design of combinational and sequential logic at these three levels; and illustrates various forms of control unit design. For practicing engineers involved in digital design and those interested in the development of methods for computer aided design.

1.0 out of 5 stars poorly organized book, March 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Structured Logic Design with VHDL (Hardcover)

This was the required text, for a very limited time of course, for my vhdl course. The book is horrible. It is poorly organized, with very few examples, and contains paragraph after paragraph of verbage. Everyone I knew at that class relied primary on other texts. This book seems to be intended for "advanced" vhdl users, since they're the only ones who could possibly understand the writing and the hardware devices that are modeled in the examples. then again, if you're a real pro, would you have the time and patience to read this book given its inferior quality.
