Customer Reviews

Good textbook for logic design and VHDL

This textbook is well written, with lots of good examples and problems. The included CD has software that is about two major versions old -- better to download it. But it also has code for all the coding examples in the book, which, if you want to run them, can save lots of time and typos. One needs an Altera DE-2 demo board on which to run them (about $270 for academic users [with pretty restrictive licensing], $495 for commercial users).

Excellent book for getting started.

This book does an excellent job of covering the basics of digital logic circuits and chips, and a solid job of covering VHDL design. While some "newer" topics are not covered, that does not hinder this book, as it aims provide a fundamental understanding of Digital components and circuits, and VHDL.

Excellent coverage of logic theory, but not a VHDL bible

Being completely new to VHDL and only somewhat experienced with TTL circuits, I needed a book that would cover all the basics of logic design before getting into VHDL. Logic concepts I previously had trouble grasping were made much clearer in the context of the VHDL examples. Definitely five stars!

It does its job

This introductory book in digital logic certainly did its job. It begins with simple examples before discussing harder material in a clear and concise manner. As for the VHDL component, though you will not become a master at VHDL by simply reading this book, it certainly gives you a good first experience with it. As a reference book it's loaded with practical examples.
