Book Description

ISBN-10: 0412616505 | ISBN-13: 978-0412616501 | Publication Date: January 15, 1997 | Edition: 1

This book is structured in a practical, example-driven, manner. The use of VHDL for constructing logic synthesisers is one of the aims of the book; the second is the application of the tools to the design process. Worked examples, questions and answers are provided together with do and don'ts of good practice. An appendix on logic design the source code are available free of charge over the Internet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book on VHDL Synthesis, March 25, 2002

This review is from: VHDL: A logic synthesis approach (Hardcover)

This book is excellent for the topic - logic sythesis. It has an introduction to VHDL, however I found that "VHDL Starters Guide" was better if you are just starting off. However at any rate this is a good book on VHDL. There is a lot of examples in the book, which makes it easy to understand and use. It does have a focus on sythesis, with such topics of optimizing your code using different tecniques. It also talks about good coding of VHDL. If you know at least some VHDL and are interested in synthesising your designs, this book should be useful for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good and Clear explanation of the main points, August 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: VHDL: A logic synthesis approach (Hardcover)

I'm a CS student and needed to know more about VHDL for a project. I looked at a range of books and found some of them way too deep for me. This one seemed clearly written and had lots of neat examples.

What I liked best was that the books show 3 different ways fo designing circuits. I learnt a lot about VHDL design styles from that

There were some mistakes in the code (eg bit-width ofa circuit vaired from 4 to 5 bits in different parts of the code) but thats about it
