Designed as an inexpensive companion text in courses that use VHDL , this book provides students with a thorough grounding in the basic concepts and language of VHDL , and allows them to apply what they've learned using realistic examples. Concepts are followed by examples and tutorials. For schools wanting to introduce VHDL into their undergraduate computer engineering sequence courses, this inexpensive supplement provides the basics. Provides tutorial descriptions and presents programming mechanics unique to CAD tools and environments.
- Tutorials integrate details of the programming mechanics that are not typically covered in class, but are invaluable in laboratory exercises.
- Appendices will provide details necessary for specific commercially available simulators.
Emphasizes examples, extensive use of timing diagrams, event lists and many tutorials for independent student study.
Features an application-oriented perspective rather than a language oriented perspective.
- Each application and concept is illustrated with several examples.
Ends each chapter with summaries that include a list of "Dos and Don'ts."
Contains a number of sample problems, many of which will feature worked solutions.
Viewgraph masters and the VHDL source for all text examples will supplement the text.
