Synopsis

Complete with coverage of the latest VHDL93 standard, this new edition offers engineers a thorough guide to the use of VHDL hardware description language in the analysis, simulation, and modeling of complicated microelectronic circuits.Extensive worked problems and examples listed in Verilog as well as VHDL set this edition apart from other VHDL texts. This edition includes new chapters on logic synthesis, along with detailed coverage of VHDL syntax and semantics ... timing and concurrency ... VHDL language details at structural, dataflow, and behavioral levels of abstraction ... logic and register level design ... modeling at the board level ... and innovative applications of VHDL for modeling hardware components. New examples that demonstrate or describe default binding, a sequential comparator, incremental binding, a parity checker, use of OTHERS, and use of ACCESS types are included.

About this title

From the Author:

Contents: Design methodology, VHDL langauge, VHDL in use
The first three chapters are on general concepts of hardware description languages and design with these languages. Top-down design methodology is presented in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 is on timing, sequential and concurrent simulation, and event scheduling. Chapters 5 through 9 present the complete VHDL language. Real hardware examples are used for the demonstration of VHDL language constructs. The last 3 chapters (10 - 12) show various ways that VHDL can be used in real design and modeling environments. Chapter 10 shows discrete design based on VHDL, and Chapter 11 shows board level component based design. Together, these chapters show a complete CPU system with memory, bus arbitration, cache, DMA and a serial interface. The last Chapter is on modeling issues in VHDL. An appendix covers a synthesizable VHDL subset, which is a good starting point for using commercial synthesis tools. Correction: This edition does not include Verilog examples.

The Definitive Guide To VHDL Now Updated With The New VHDL93 Standard VHDL, Second Edition Here's the new second edition of the authoritative reference engineers need to guide them through the use of VHDL hardware description language in the analysis, simulation, and modeling of complicated microelectronics circuits. You'll find extensive new material to bring the guide fully up to date with the new VHDL93 standard, including new chapters on design flow, interfacing, modling, and timing. Extensive appENDixes, including ones on logic synthesis and CPU description style, provide up-to-date information on the use of VHDL in design. The number and depth of its relevant and practical examples and problems is what set this edition apart from other VHDL texts. Detailed coverage includes: new chapters and appENDixes on design flow, various coding styles, and logic synthesis, along with detailed coverage of VHDL syntax and semantic. . .top-down design and how designers can best utilize VHDL. . .revised information on timing and concurrency. . .and VHDL applications for interface design and for special modelings, to name only some of the newly revised or newly covered topics. Plus, you'll find dozens of new examples that demonstrate or describe default binding, a sequential comparator, incremental binding, a parity check, DMA and Cache controller, use of OTHERS, aggregate operations, and use of ACCESS types. Key features of this new edition include coverage of VHDL93, timing, and modeling. The author also addresses the maturity in the use of the language that has affected the way designers use VHDL and shows how to stay a step ahead of today's applications.
