"Chang has a sense of humor and also compassion for struggling designers, peppering his comprehensive discussion with plenty of examples and exercise that help clarify topics such as VHDL usage, objects, simulation concepts, subprograms, packages, l ibraries, writing VHDL for synthesis, and behavioral modeling". Book News, Inc.
Combines VHDL and synthesis in an easy-to-follow step-by-step sequence. This approach addresses common mistakes and hard-to-understand concepts in a way that eases learning. Digital Design and Modeling with VHDL and Synthesis introduces VHDL wi th closely related practical design examples, simulation waveforms, and schematics so you can better understand their correspondence and relationship. This book is the result of K.C. Chang's extensive experience in both design and teaching. Many of the de sign techniques and design considerations, illustrated throughout the chapters, are examples of real designs.
The unique features that set this book apart from other similar texts include:
Included with the book are numerous examples of real, complete working code for practical applications with simulation waveforms. A special web site is set up containing code and instructor's materials to enhance its value as a classroom text: http://computer.org/books
