The Student's Guide to VHDL (Systems on Silicon)
VHDL is a language for describing digital electronic systems. A vital, efficient step in the system design process, VHDL allows for the design and simulation of a hardware system prior to it actually being manufactured. This new book provides a tutorialintroduction to the fundamental modeling features of VHDL and shows how the features are used for the design of digital systems.
Offering the same clear, accessible style as The Designer's Guide to VHDL, The Student's Guide is designed as a...
Hardware Verification With SystemVerilog: An Object-oriented Framework
Verification is increasingly complex, and SystemVerilog is one of the languages that the verification community is turning to. However, no language by itself can guarantee success without proper techniques. Object-oriented programming (OOP), with its focus on managing complexity, is ideally suited to this task.
With this handbook―the first to focus on applying OOP to SystemVerilog―we’ll show how to manage complexity by using layers of abstraction and base classes. By adapting these...
Modeling, Synthesis, and Rapid Prototyping with the VERILOG (TM) HDL
Verilog aims to introduce new users to the language of Verilog with instruction on how to write hardware descriptions in Verilog in a style that can be synthesized by readily available synthesis tools. Offers clear exposition of the Verilog hardware description language. This book is written in a style that allows the user who has no previous background with hardware description languages (HDLs) to become skillful with the language. Features treatment of synthesis-friendly...
