The Best Verilog Book for Beginners

This book starts from very basic knowledge of Verilog. It assumes no prior knowledge of the language. It starts from explaining the different data types of Verilog with very clear examples. Then it shows you how to create a module and why is it important to divide your design into several modules. Then it teaches you how to create a circuit at gate level modeling. The schematics of the the code is given in the book, so you can clearly see the relationship between the schematics and its corresponding Verilog code. Then it moves to data flow modeling, again with very clear examples. After that, it moves to Behavioral Modeling. This the only book that gives me a very good understanding of always block, initial block, reg data type, and most importantly blocking and non blocking assignment. It has excellent example of how to create a state machine. The rest of the book teach you some tips that will make it easier for you to write your code. It also has some very good examples of how to create a testbench. Almost every example has its own testbench. So, you will learn how to create a testbench as you read the book from the very beginning. I only have 2 complains of the book. One is it doesn't tell you which part of the language is synthesizable until near the end of the book. Second is it doesn't tell you which part of the examples is the new features in Verilog 2001. This could be problematic if your simulator and synthesis tool does not fully support Verilog 2001. But other than that, I am fully satisfied. When I first learned Verilog, I browsed many other books. And this one is absolutely the best one. Without this book, I won't be able to finish my projects ahead of time with an A+. Good job Mr. Palnitkar!

best intro to verilog on the market

the verilog professional needs two books: one for introductory topics and easy examples, and one for difficult language issues.this book is the best introductory verilog book on the market, and is the one most frequently stolen from my office. this is the book i get for every new verilog learner, and it serves them well.moorby is more complete with respect to advanced topics, but more difficult to understand.

verilog HDL

Excellent beginning work for the new EE grad. Having already accepted a position in ASIC design, I read this book over the summer and was able to immediately write complex test plans for new designs. Next challenge: design.Still keep the book on the shelf for reference although others try to borrow it.

Excellent Intruduction to Verilog!

This is perhaps the best book to Verilog for those who are new to the language. There are certain aspects of the book that are very applicable to real life situations (chapter 2). It is a very well written book! Yes it is sometimes very basic, but it is intended to be that way. If you are looking for an advanced book, this is not the book for you. But if you are looking for a very good foundation to this wonderful HDL language, this is it!

Clear, Simple and complete

As a senior person new to Verilog I found this book to be well layed out and quick to read. I chose it because I found many positive references. Now I see why. It seems to be the best of the Verilog books.
