VHDL: Analysis and Modeling of Digital Systems

Front Cover
McGraw Hill Professional, 1998 - Computers - 632 pages
Here's the new second edition of the authoritative reference engineers need to guide them through the use of VHDL hardware description language in the analysis, simulation, and modeling of complicated microelectronic circuits. You'll find extensive new material to bring the guide fully up to date with the new VHDL93 standard, including new chapters on design flow, interfacing, modeling, and timing. Extensive appendixes, including ones on logic synthesis and CPU description styles, provide up-to-date information on the use of VHDL in design. The number and depth of its relevant and practical examples and problems is what sets this edition apart from other VHDL texts.
