VHDL: Analysis and Modeling of Digital Systems

By: Navabi, Zainalabedin

The VHDL hardware description language is used in the analysis, simulation and modelling of complicated mirco-electronic circuits. This work provides worked examples and problems related to VHDL. The key feature of this edition is material on the VHDL93 standard, adopted in late 1996. Chapters focus on logic synthesis while examples are listed in Verilog as well as VHDL.

Excellent Book for Beginners, Useful Reference for Test Bench Development

This book is an excellent book for beginners to VHDL. It is written in such a way that it presents the development and nuances of the VHDL language sequentially and ties some of the history of the language into the examples. It is very useful when you want to know why the syntax works the way it does. My only criticism is that it can be difficult to find examples when using it as a desk reference. I often found myself thinking,...

good book for entry level readers

I knew nothing about VHDL before reading this book.Now I know how to design a small CPU. This book is very practical for those who just start to learn VHDL. Different from many VHDL books, which just provide general command statement explaination, this book combined the language with very detailed and useful examples. Moreover, it focuses more on system design rather than VHDL language. The book starts with designing small...

Well-written and easy to understand guide to learning VHDL

This book is an easy read and could be used as a self-help guide for someone trying to learn VHDL on his/her own. Examples provided in the book illustrate code cases that are both clever and insightful. They make one think about the code and comprehend it in a straightful manner. This book is a very good buy.

I highly recommend Dr. Navabi's book - it's a keeper.

Background info: I have been an ASIC engineer since 1986. I have designed many ASICs in Verilog and VHDL. I have 7 books on VHDL including Dr. Navabi's text.Some of the VHDL books out there are more like cookbooks: too many code examples and not enough explanation. Navabi's book is NOT a cookbook.Further, it is hard to do a direct comparison to other VHDL texts. In a way it would be like comparing apples and oranges. While...

Worth its weight in . . .

A really good text book is worth its weight in ....well maybe not gold but definetely more than silver. I can count on one hand the really great textbooks I have used in over 4 years of Electrical Engineer education (two others being "Fundamentals of Logic Design" by Charles H. Roth, Jr. and "Computer Systems Design and Architecture" by Vincent Heuring and Harry Jordan). Having previously taken a VHDL class, I showed...
