TITLE: New Text on Digital Design Using VHDL
"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.
