Product Description
Digital Design: An Embedded Systems Approach Using VHDL provides a foundation in digital design for students in computer engineering, electrical engineering and computer science courses. It takes an up-to-date and modern approach of presenting digital logic design as an activity in a larger systems design context.
Rather than focus on aspects of digital design that have little relevance in a realistic design context, this book concentrates on modern and evolving knowledge and design skills. Hardware description language (HDL)-based design and verification is emphasized--VHDL examples are used extensively throughout. By treating digital logic as part of embedded systems design, this book provides an understanding of the hardware needed in the analysis and design of systems comprising both hardware and software components.
Includes a Web site with links to vendor tools, labs and tutorials.
. Presents digital logic design as an activity in a larger systems design context.
. Features extensive use of VHDL examples to demonstrate HDL usage at the abstract behavioural level and register transfer level, as well as for low-level verification and verification environments.
. Includes worked examples throughout to enhance the reader's understanding and retention of the material.
. Companion Web site includes links to CAD tools for FPGA design from Synplicity, Mentor Graphics, and Xilinx, VHDL source code for all the examples in the book, lecture slides, laboratory projects, and solutions to exercises.

• Comprehensive Vhdl Text 28 February, 2008
VHDL is a strange and specialised language, for the realm of designing digital circuits. The book is a comprehensive explanation of VHDL. Requiring little prior knowledge of analog circuitry. The assumption of "good" digital behaviour by the circuits is a great simplifying step, as you might appreciate if you come from an analog design background.
The book walks through the basics of Boolean circuits. Which act as the basis for more complex combinational circuits. A familiar path in an digital design book. Where here, in each section, the appropriate VHDL instructions are given, to lay out the circuits.
The bulk of the text is due to the different classes of chips that are covered. From memory to I/O to buses. What you might want to focus on is not so much each chip type, but various design methodologies. Especially design to test. Very practical in today's level of chip complexity.
