Product Description
Review
"Volnei Pedroni explains what designers really need to know to build hardware with VHDL. This book sets the standard for how hardware description languages should be taught." David Money Harris, Professor of Engineering, Harvey Mudd College
Product Description
This text offers a comprehensive treatment of VHDL and its applications to the design and simulation of real, industry-standard circuits. It focuses on the use of VHDL rather than solely on the language, showing why and how certain types of circuits are inferred from the language constructs and how any of the four simulation categories can be implemented. It makes a rigorous distinction between VHDL for synthesis and VHDL for simulation. The VHDL codes in all design examples are complete, and circuit diagrams, physical synthesis in FPGAs, simulation results, and explanatory comments are included with the designs. The text reviews fundamental concepts of digital electronics and design and includes a series of appendixes that offer tutorials on important design tools including ISE, Quartus II, and ModelSim, as well as descriptions of programmable logic devices in which the designs are implemented, the DE2 development board, standard VHDL packages, and other features. All four VHDL editions (1987, 1993, 2002, and 2008) are covered. This expanded second edition is the first textbook on VHDL to include a detailed analysis of circuit simulation with VHDL testbenches in all four categories (nonautomated, fully automated, functional, and timing simulations), accompanied by complete practical examples. Chapters 1--9 have been updated, with new design examples and new details on such topics as data types and code statements. Chapter 10 is entirely new and deals exclusively with simulation. Chapters 11--17 are also entirely new, presenting extended and advanced designs with theoretical and practical coverage of serial data communications circuits, video circuits, and other topics. There are many more illustrations, and the exercises have been updated and their number more than doubled.

VHDL
1 Jun 2011
Format:Hardcover
I've been using this book to learn VHDL and have found it very useful.
The book has a step by step approach and I was able to write my
first basic program using ISE and ModelSim in just under a week. There are
plenty of good examples and the ideas are presented in a clear and
understandable manner.

i've tried few books to learn vhdl, this is by far the best one i've seen.
its orginized very well.
its orginized very well.
OK for teaching, with caveats

I've adopted this book for a class I teach in digital systems design. I agree with another reviewer that the book has problems for instructional use. It does overwhelm the student in the first chapters! I reduced the problem by writing a VHDL introduction I give the students, and telling them to only skim sections of the first few chapters of the book.
I'd also warn against assigning problems from the text. I've found that the frequently require knowledge gained only after reading latter chapters or require VHDL features that are missing from the software that we use.
I know this sounds like a negative review, and you might ask why I gave it 4 stars. Where it wins is in that it is very thorough and isn't a "throwaway" textbook. It's the closest book to reality that I've seen. It's also very well priced.
