TITLE: Starter's Guide to Verilog 2001

"Starter's  Guide  to  Verilog  2001"  (ISBN:  0-13-141556-5)  by
Prof. Michael D. Ciletti, Univ. of Colorado, Colorado Springs.

The popular Verilog hardware description language  underwent  its
first  revision  in 2000, and emerged as IEEE Standard 1364-2001,
know as Verilog-2001, with significant changes aimed at improving
the  utility  and  clarity  of  the  language.   The language was
strengthened by the addition of  enhancements  supporting  higher
level  modeling and abstract modeling, while maintaining backward
compatibility with IEEE Standard 1364-1995.

This text presents a selected set of those changes, with  several
examples  showing  how the reader can develop models that exploit
the key features  of  Verilog-2001.   An  appendix  includes  the
complete  formal  syntax  of  IEEE Standard 1364-2001, which also
encompasses IEEE Standard 1364-1995.

Suitable for self-study, the book  is  intended  to  serve  as  a
companion  text  for  students  taking  an introductory course in
digital logic  design,  and  for  circuit  designers  wishing  to
acquire a basic background in Verilog 2001.
