The power of VHDL-without the complexity!

Want to leverage VHDL's remarkable power without bogging down in its notorious complexity? Get A VHDL Primer, Third Edition. This up-to-the-minute introduction to VHDL focuses on the features you need to get results-with extensive practical examples so you can start writing VHDL models immediately.

Written by Jayaram Bhasker, one of the world's leading VHDL course developers, this best-selling guide has been completely updated to reflect the popular IEEE STD_LOGIC_1164 package. With Bhasker's help, you'll master all these key VHDL techniques:

  • Behavioral, dataflow and structural modeling.
  • Generics and configurations.
  • Subprograms and overloading.
  • Packages and libraries.
  • Model simulation.
  • Advanced features: Entity statements, generate statements, aliases, guarded signals, attributes, aggregate targets, and more.

The book's extensive hardware modeling coverage includes modeling of regular structures, delays, conditional operations, state machines, Moore and Mealy FSMs, clock dividers and much more. You'll find new coverage of text I/O and test benches, as well as complete listings of the IEEE TD_LOGIC_1164 package. J. Bhasker has helped tens of thousands of professionals master VHDL. With A VHDL Primer, Third Edition, it's your turn to succeed.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

VHDL is an IEEE standard as well as an ANSI standard language for describing digital designs--but it is a large and verbose language with many complex constructs that have complex semantic meaning, and is difficult to understand initially. (VDHL is often quoted as an acronym for Very Hard Description Language!) This primer--updated to include the new standard just released by the IEEE (IEEE Std 1076-1993)--uses a subset of the language to introduce VDHL to readers at the beginner's level. It explains the complex constructs of the language using an example-based approach. Covers topics such as basic language elements, behavioral modeling, dataflow modeling, structural modeling, generics and configurations, subprograms and overloading, packages and libraries, advanced features, model simulation, and hardware modeling examples. For both hardware and software designers interested in learning VHDL. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very hard to follow, eclectic approach, October 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: A VHDL Primer (Paperback)
Yet another book that you must already be an expert to understand what is being discussed. Very disorganized. You have to skip around alot to make anything connect.

Another caution: This is based on VHDL-1993 which is as yet incompatible with a significant number of CAE tools.

3.0 out of 5 stars Resource for the VHDL student - not necessarily the EE., January 29, 1999
I recommend this text for anyone curious about the capabilities of the language. It includes plenty of great examples of VHDL's power and flexibility to model digital behavior. A great companion to flesh out what was originally published in the IEEE Std 1076. Engineers involved with simulation will find Chapter 11. "Model Simulation" very useful; however, if you're an electronic engineer seeking quick answers to design an ASIC or FPGA - look somewhere else...

5.0 out of 5 stars I appreciate Mr. Bhasker's book., April 25, 2001
By 
sameer kadam (Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A VHDL Primer (Paperback)
I am a graduate student doing my Major in digital VLSI design. I strongly urge people to read the book written by Mr. Jayaram Bhasker on VHDL.I feel that there are no prerequisites for reading this. The main highlight of the book is the simplicity with which its written. The author has really taken pains to make students understand difficult ideas with ease.The other most striking feature are ample signal wave diagrams which YOU DONT FIND IN ANY OTHER BOOKS. My favorite chapter is the tutorial in Chapter2 and the last chapter on STATE MACHINES.

I have gone through some other books but they never give fully written code examples. Mr. Bhasker has given complete code examples which you can synthesize easily and get the satisfaction of practically writing the code in a short time and observe the wave forms.

This book is an excellent study material for people interested in learning VHDL .
