SystemVerilog Testbench Quick Reference
This book is a quick reference for the most commonly used SystemVerilog Testbench constructs (the testbench subset of SystemVerilog). SystemVerilog is a rich language. It can be difficult to remember the syntax and semantics for all the constructs it contains. We illustrate the syntax using code examples. We also try to explain semantics where appropriate through comments and notes.

Architecture and CAD for Deep-Submicron FPGAS (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, 49
Since their introduction in 1984, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become one of the most popular implementation media for digital circuits and have grown into a $2 billion per year industry. As process geometries have shrunk into the deep-submicron region, the logic capacity of FPGAs has greatly increased, making FPGAs a viable implementation alternative for larger and larger designs. To make the best use of these new deep-submicron processes, one must re-design one's...
Digital Design
While most popular digital design books present a perspective rooted in the 1970s and 1980s, Digital System Design takes the subject into the 21st century. It quickly moves through the low-levels of design, making a clear distinction between design and gate-level minimization. The book also emphasizes how one of the key uses of digital design today is to build high-performance alternatives to software in addition to glue logic. And it swiftly progresses to register-transfer-level (RTL)...
