Product Description The definitive guide to VHDLÑnow updated with the new VHDL93 standard! Here's the new second edition of the authoritative reference engineers need to guide them through the use of VHDL hardware description language in the analysis, simulation, and modeling of complicated microelectronic circuits. The number and depth of its relevant and practical examples and problems is what sets this edition apart from other VHDL texts. It includes extensive new material to bring the guide fully up to date with the new VHDL93 standard, including new chapters on design flow, interfacing, modeling, and timing, as well as appendixes on logic synthesis and description styles. | ||

Excellent Book for Beginners, Useful Reference for Test Bench Development This book is an excellent book for beginners to VHDL. It is written in such a way that it presents the development and nuances of the VHDL language sequentially and ties some of the history of the language into the examples. It is very useful when you want to know why the syntax works the way it does. My only criticism is that it can be difficult to find examples when using it as a desk reference. I often found myself thinking, "I remember reading how to do this, but I can't seem to find it now." I would highly recommend this book if you can dedicate the time to read it cover-to-cover as it makes things easier to find when you need them. Even though I've been writing VHDL in industry for 10 years now, I learned a lot by reading this book. I think there are other books, "A VHDL Synthesis Primer" by Bhasker that are more compact design references, but this book is a must have for comprehensive language coverage and some of the more powerful concepts that often aren't covered by other references. It is also an invaluable tool if you plan on doing any test bench development or complex modeling (i.e. transistor, or gate level logic simulation). In summary, I would highly recommend this book. If you can dedicate the time to read it cover-to-cover it will help you become a better VHDL coder. | ||
Very good I recently used this text for a design class using VHDL. The text is easy to read, has a good flow from topic to topic, and contains many useful examples that help explain the issues. | ||
Lots of detail I recently used this book for a class and found the book had a lot of detail and was easy to read. There were lots of examples to demonstrate different concepts of VHDL that were easy to understand. The only complaint is the index seems to be bit sparse and can be hard to find specific concepts. | ||
good book for entry level readers I knew nothing about VHDL before reading this book.Now I know how to design a small CPU. This book is very practical for those who just start to learn VHDL. Different from many VHDL books, which just provide general command statement explaination, this book combined the language with very detailed and useful examples. Moreover, it focuses more on system design rather than VHDL language. The book starts with designing small components such as counter, adder, ends with a complete CPU. After reading this book, I have got a better concept about the timing and architecture of the system. So in a word, a good book. | ||
Well-Written Textbook I usually never get far along through my college textbooks, but I found this one very interesting. It provides a good overview of the VHDL programming language, going into detail on many of the more confusing aspects, such as multiple driver resolution. As a programming language, I wasn't particularly fond of the way VHDL handled many issues. The concept of configurations seemed unnecessary, and I didn't like how it automatically dropped so many assignments to a signal. Coming from an object-oriented programming background, I think I might have preferred Verilog, which Prof. Navabi also teaches a course in, actually. | ||
