The Designer's Guide has been revised to reflect the changes, so it is appropriate that The Student's Guide...
Logic Design and Verification Using Systemverilog
SystemVerilog is a Hardware Description Language that enables designers to work at the higher levels of logic design abstractions that match the increased complexity of current day integrated circuit and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) designs. The majority of the book assumes a basic background in logic design and software programming concepts. It is directed at: • students currently in an introductory logic design course that also teaches SystemVerilog, • designers who want to...

Writing Testbenches: Functional Verification of HDL Models
mental improvements during the same period. What is clearly needed in verification techniques and technology is the equivalent of a synthesis productivity breakthrough. In the second edition of Writing Testbenches, Bergeron raises the verification level of abstraction by introducing coverage-driven constrained-random transaction-level self-checking testbenches all made possible through the introduction of hardware verification languages (HVLs), such as e from Verisity and OpenVera from...
Fundamentals of Timing in FPGAs
Modern FPGA vendors have migrated from their classic timing tools to a Synopsys style tool. However, the vast documentation available on this style of timing closure is confusing to many engineers as it stresses on sdc syntax issues. This book introduces the basic concepts of FPGA timing and Synopsys style timing closure in a simplified yet concise way with emphasis on clear understanding and practical aspects away from syntax clutter.
