Product Description

Product Description

Aimed at advanced courses in digital design for seniors and first-year graduate students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science, this book assumes and builds on the background of a first course in logic design.

From the Back Cover

Behavioral modeling with a hardware description language (HDL) is the key to modern ASIC design. Readers preparing to contribute to a productive design team must know how to use a hardware description language at key stages of the design flow. This book is written for a course going beyond the basic principles and methods learned in a first course in digital design.

Our focus is on design methodology enabled by an HDL. Our goal is to build on a student's background from a first course in logic design by

  1. reviewing basic principles of combinational and sequential logic,
  2. introducing the use of HDLs in design,
  3. emphasizing descriptive styles that will allow the reader to quickly design working circuits suitable for application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and/or field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation, and
  4. providing in-depth design examples using modern design tools. Readers are encouraged to simplify, clarify, and verify their designs.

The Verilog hardware description language (IEEE Standard 1364) serves as a common framework supporting the design activities treated in this book, but our focus is on developing, verifying, and synthesizing designs of digital circuits, not on the Verilog language. Most students taking a second course in digital design will be familiar with at least one programming language and will be able to draw on that background in reading this text. We cover only the core and most widely used features of Verilog.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Digital Design Methodology
Chapter 2: Review of Combinational Logic Design
Chapter 3: Fundamentals of Sequential Logic Design
Chapter 4: Introduction to Logic Design with Verilog
Chapter 5: logic Design with Behavioral Models of Combinational and Sequential Logic
Chapter 6: Synthesis of Combinational and Sequential Logic
Chapter 7: Design and Synthesis of Datapath Controllers
Chapter 8: Programmable Logic and Storage Devices
Chapter 9: Algorithms and Architectures for Digital Processors
Chapter 10: Architectures for Arithmetic Processors
Chapter 11: Postsynthesis Design Tasks

2.0 out of 5 stars Not cohesive, May 26 2004
This review is from: Advanced Digital Design with the Verilog(TM) HDL (Hardcover)
This book is a collection of scattered examples and subsequent examples don't build off of the previous ones as much as they could.

The first few chapters are worthless. The first "review" chapter goes through combinational logic too quickly and could have been ommitted completely. The introductory chapter on sequential logic is also of no use; the only concepts I was able to follow were the ones I already knew.

The book is really repetetive. It was almost like entire paragraphs were copied verbatim. A single proofreading could have weeded this stuff out. Other forms of repetition seemed to be caused by the fact that similarities between related concepts weren't identified and factored out.

There's also a huge section about Xilinx's and Altera's FPGA products that reads like a mix between a datasheet and a press release.

To top things off, the typesetting is horrible. Each example has an unnecessarily large begin/end banner that makes it hard to see the actual structure. The text in the code samples sometimes overlaps onto itself. I wouldn't have cared so much about problems like these if the book's content were any good.

In the end, I got the impression that the book was hastily put together. Definitely a waste of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for intermedate/advanced digital designers, Sep 18 2003

This review is from: Advanced Digital Design with the Verilog(TM) HDL (Hardcover)
If you want to go from designing basic building blocks to the next level: this is one of the few books out there that can do that for you. The author builds up speed quickly, but he provides complete examples(not code fragments) with simulation waveforms. Most of the code is available on his web site.

The 1st chapter is a good review of digital design(usually one half of a basic design book).His examples are excellent case studies,including architectures for arithmetic processors. There is a chapter on memories,on the structure of the different FPGAs and chapters on all stages(eg test and synthesis) of FPGA/ASIC.The author is an excellent teacher as this book shows.

(If you are struggling beginner-type student try the modeling,synthesis and rapid prototyping book first.)

Advanced digital design is an excellent book.
I recommend it for both experienced engineers and students!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book for advanced classes on Logic design, Feb 10 2003
By 
Alexander Taubin (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Digital Design with the Verilog(TM) HDL (Hardcover)
I am using this book for my graduate level classes on "Digital System Design Automation (From HDL to FPGA)". The book is very useful - It has, from one hand a very reasonable methodology behind. From the other hand it is an excellent collection of design examples. Especially important is the fact that the book is bundled with Xilinx ISE Student edition tools. The book is fully supported by presentation slides available from the author.
