TITLE: Text on Hardware Design Using VHDL
A new text entitled "RTL Hardware Design Using VHDL: Coding for
Efficiency, Portability, and Scalability" by P. Chu is being
published by Wiley-IEEE Press (ISBN: 0471720925).
This book teaches readers how to systematically design efficient,
portable, and scalable Register Transfer Level (RTL) digital
circuits using the VHDL hardware description language and
synthesis software. Focusing on the module-level design, which
is composed of functional units, routing circuit, and storage,
the book illustrates the relationship between the VHDL constructs
and the underlying hardware components, and shows how to develop
codes that faithfully reflect the module-level design and can be
synthesized into efficient gate-level implementation.
Several unique features distinguish the book:
- Coding style that shows a clear relationship between VHDL
constructs and hardware components
- Conceptual diagrams that illustrate the realization of VHDL codes
- Emphasis on the code reuse
- Practical examples that demonstrate and reinforce design concepts,
procedures, and techniques
- Two chapters on realizing sequential algorithms in hardware
- Two chapters on scalable and parameterized designs and coding
- One chapter covering the synchronization and interface
between multiple clock domains
Additional information and a sample chapter can be found in BOOK
