Advanced Digital Design with the Verilog HDL, 2e, is ideal for an advanced course in digital design for seniors and first-year graduate students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science.
This book builds on the student's background from a first course in logic design and focuses on developing, verifying, and synthesizing designs of digital circuits. The Verilog language is introduced in an integrated, but selective manner, only as needed to support design examples (includes appendices for additional language details). It addresses the design of several important circuits used in computer systems, digital signal processing, image processing, and other applications.
This book covers the key design problems of modeling, architectural tradeoffs, functional verification, timing analysis, test generation, fault simulation, design for testablility, logic synthesis, and post-synthesis verification. The author's focus is on developing, verifying, and synthesizing designs of digital circuits rather than on the Verilog language. Some of the topics covered in this book include Digital Design Methodology, Combinational Logic, Sequential Logic Design, Logic Design with Verilog, and Programmable Logic and Storage Devices. For professional engineers interested in learning Verilog by example, in the context of its use in the design flow of modern integrated circuits.
