Synopsis

Verilog HDL is a language for digital design, just as C is a language for programming. This complete Verilog HDL reference progresses from the basic Verilog concepts to the most advanced concepts in digital design. Palnitkar covers the gamut of Verilog HDL fundamentals, such as gate, RTL, and behavioral modeling, all the way to advanced concepts, such as timing simulation, switch level modeling, PLI, and logic synthesis. Verilog HDL is a hardware description language (with a user community of more than 50,000 active designers) used to design and document electronic systems. This completely updated reference progresses from basic to advanced concepts in digital design, including timing simulation, switch level modeling, PLI, and logic synthesis.

About the Author

Samir Palnitkar is a recognized authority on Verilog HDL, modeling, verification, logic synthesis, and EDA-based methodologies in digital design. He has worked extensively with design and verification on various successful microprocessor, ASIC, and system projects. He was the lead developer of the Verilog framework for the shared memory, cache coherent, multiprocessor architecture, popularly known as the UltraSPARCTM Port Architecture, defined for Sun's next generation UltraSPARC-based desktop systems. Besides the UltraSPARC CPU, he has worked on a number of diverse design and verification projects at leading companies including Cisco, Philips, Mitsubishi, Motorola, National, Advanced Micro Devices, and Standard Microsystems.

From the Back Cover

VERILOG HDL, Second Editionby Samir PalnitkarWith a Foreword by Prabhu Goel

Written forboth experienced and new users, this book gives you broad coverage of VerilogHDL. The book stresses the practical design and verification perspective ofVerilog rather than emphasizing only the language aspects. The informationpresented is fully compliant with the IEEE 1364-2001 Verilog HDL standard.

Among its many features, this edition―

• Describes state-of-the-art verification methodologies

• Provides full coverage of gate, dataflow (RTL), behavioral and switch modeling

• Introduces you to the Programming Language Interface (PLI)

• Describes logic synthesis methodologies

• Explains timing and delay simulation

• Discusses user-defined primitives

• Offers many practical modeling tips

Includes over 300 illustrations, examples, and exercises, and a Verilog resource list.Learning objectives and summaries are provided for each chapter.

About the CD-ROM

The CD-ROM contains a Verilog simulator with agraphical user interface and the source code for the examples in the book.

Whatpeople are saying about Verilog HDL―

“Mr.Palnitkar illustrates how and why Verilog HDL is used to develop today’smost complex digital designs. This book is valuable to both the novice and theexperienced Verilog user. I highly recommend it to anyone exploring Verilogbased design."

―RajeevMadhavan, Chairman and CEO, Magma Design Automation

“Thisbook is unique in its breadth of information on Verilog and Verilog-relatedtopics. It is fully compliant with the IEEE 1364-2001 standard, contains allthe information that you need on the basics, and devotes several chapters toadvanced topics such as verification, PLI, synthesis and modelingtechniques.”

―MichaelMcNamara, Chair, IEEE 1364-2001 Verilog Standards Organization

Thishas been my favorite Verilog book since I picked it up in college. It is theonly book that covers practical Verilog. A must have for beginners andexperts.”

―BerendOzceri, Design Engineer, Cisco Systems, Inc.

“Simple,logical and well-organized material with plenty of illustrations, makes this anideal textbook.”

―Arun K. Somani, Jerry R. Junkins Chair Professor,Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Iowa State University, Ames
