Written for an advanced-level course in digital systems design, DIGITAL SYSTEMS DESIGN USING VHDL integrates the use of the industry-standard hardware description language VHDL into the digital design process. Following a review of basic concepts of logic design in Chapter 1, the author introduces the basics of VHDL in Chapter 2, and then incorporates more coverage of VHDL topics as needed, with advanced topics covered in Chapter 8. Rather than simply teach VHDL as a programming language, this book emphasizes the practical use of VHDL in the digital design process. For example, in Chapter 9, the author develops VHDL models for a RAM memory and a microprocessor bus interface; he then uses a VHDL simulation to verify that timing specifications for the interface between the memory and microprocessor bus are satisfied. The book also covers the use of CAD tools to synthesize digital logic from a VHDL description (in Chapter 8), and stresses the use of programmable logic devices, including programmable gate arrays. Chapter 10 introduces methods for testing digital systems including boundary scan and a built-in self-test.About the AuthorCharles H. Roth received his B.E.E., M.S., and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, M.I.T., and Stanford. He joined the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin in 1961, where he is currently Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Roth received the General Dynamics award for outstanding engineering teaching after he developed a self-paced course in logic design. His teaching and research interests include digital systems theory and design, microcomputer systems, and VHDL applications. He is the author of four textbooks including Fundamentals of Logic Design 5e.ReviewsSummary: Not a good choice to takeRating: 3I bought this book and it was recommended as a textbook for the VHDL course. I have this book and I am 100% sure that this book is NOT one of the good VHDL books you need/want in your library. It belongs to the "OK" level.chapter one:is the most valuable chapter. it contains an excellent review for every thing in digital logic, and guess what?chapter two:is a poor organized chapter that presents VHDL basics. after reading this chapter you will stop reading because you will start searching for other well organized books! that was my situation and 9 of my friends got similar situation.after reading 3 books in VHDL, I highly recommend:1- only the first chapter of this book2- Circuit Design with VHDL by Pedroni3- some examples from "Design Recipes for FPGAs" by WilsonSummary: Strong introduction to VHDL and DSDRating: 4This book provides a very good introduction to VHDL and digital systems design. The material is presented well, and the larger designs in the back of the book are pretty useful.The 2nd edition has some pretty nice changes from the 1st edition, particularly in some of the designs throughout the book. The material -- the presentation and layout -- is basically the same. However, it's worth buying this edition due to the changes in the designs.Summary: a good book for non-beginnerRating: 4After an absence of not doing logic design for 20 years, I want to pick up the trade again. I selected this book. It turns out to be an EXCELLENT choice. In one chapter, the author reviews everything I learned 20 years ago on combinational and sequential logic. He then introduces VHDL to model both kinds of logic. From then on logic design is done with VHDL and implemented with programmable gate arrays. I would recommend this book to people who have studied a beginning logic design book such as Mano's. |
