Product Description

Review

"I use VHDL in daily design job at Bell Labs. When I was asked to teach this advanced digital design course using Verilog, this example-rich book [Advanced Digital Design with the Verilog, HDL, 2e] helped me easily apply my design knowledge in Verilog. It is also very easy for students who first learn high-level design language to appreciate the power of design using Verilog, again via plenty of examples in the book." — Chen-Huan Chiang, Temple University

"I also like the chapter about RTL synthesis. There are books about logic synthesis but very few introduce RTL synthesis as clearly as this book." — Chen-Huan Chiang, Temple University --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Book Description

For an advanced course in digital design for seniors and first-year graduate students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science. This book builds on the student's background from a first course in logic design and focuses on developing, verifying, and synthesizing designs of digital circuits. The Verilog language is introduced in an integrated, but selective manner, only as needed to support design examples (includes appendices for additional language details). It addresses the design of several important circuits used in computer systems, digital signal processing, image processing, and other applications.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not cohesive, May 26 2004
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
By 
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
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.
