"Digital Design and Modeling with VHDL  and  Synthesis"  by  K.C.
Chang  of Boeing combines VHDL and synthesis in an easy-to-follow
step-by-step sequence. This approach  addresses  common  mistakes
and hard-to-understand concepts in a way that eases learning. The
text introduces VHDL with closely related practical design  exam-
ples,  simulation  waveforms,  and  schematics  so you can better
understand their correspondence and relationship.  This  book  is
the  result  of  the author's extensive experience in both design
and teaching. Many of the design techniques and design considera-
tions,  illustrated throughout the chapters, are examples of real
designs.

The unique features that set this book apart from  other  similar
texts include:

   * More than 115 complete examples with 6200 lines of VHDL code
   * Every line of VHDL code is analyzed and  has  an  associated
line number
     for easy reference and discussion
   * The VHDL code examples are carefully designed to  illustrate
various
     constructs, features, practical design  considerations,  and
techniques
   * Challenging exercises at the end of each chapter
   * A complete design project from concept to final  timing  ve-
rification
     demonstrates the whole design process
   * All VHDL syntax and constructs are discussed  with  complete
examples
   * Practical design techniques, synthesis processes,  and  test
benches are
     illustrated with complete examples
   * Up-to-date coverage of IEEE Standard VHDL '93

Included with the book are numerous examples  of  real,  complete
working   code   for   practical   applications  with  simulation
waveforms. A special web site  is  set  up  containing  code  and
instructor's materials to enhance its value as a classroom text.
