Product Description

Product Description

VHDL is a language for describing digital electronic systems. A vital, efficient step in the system design process, VHDL allows for the design and simulation of a hardware system prior to it actually being manufactured.
This new book provides a tutorial
introduction to the fundamental modeling features of VHDL and shows how the features are used for the design of digital systems.

Offering the same clear, accessible style as The Designer's Guide to VHDL, The Student's Guide is designed as a main text for introductory VHDL courses, and as a supplementary text for courses that require VHDL-based project work, such as computer architecture, digital design, and digital logic courses. This new condensed text also serves as a quick, self-teaching guide for practicing engineers who need to learn only the basics of VHDL.

* On-line resources include code for case studies.
* Numerous exercises that are coded for difficulty and expected solution time. * Solutions to the level one exercises are included in the book for self-testing.
* An appendix citing the differences between the 1987 standard and the 1993 standard which is described in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be called 'Dummies Guide to VHDL', 15 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I have found The Student's Guide to VHDL to be extremely helpful in learing VHDL from scratch. The rich amount of examples and highlighting of key words helps newcomers recognize the verbose and strict syntax of VHDL. This book is like a condensed version of the Developer's Guide by Ashenden and is wonderful for getting started in this language. For the price of this book and Ashenden's Developer's guide you can get away with a lot more help and information than single , and more expensive, books from other authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beginner's Bible, 27 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This is the most coprehensive book written for VHDL. The VHDL language is difficult and usually most of the books written for this subject make it worse, but not this one. This book helped me understand many things about VHDL I was ignoring. The reason is that the book is so well written and structure that anyone could start from zero and learn the basics of VHDL. It helped me a lot with my Dissertation, and I found many simple routines that made me coprehend the principles of this stiff language. Highly recomended, especially for beginners!

4.0 out of 5 stars Basic programming structures explained, 11 Oct 2008
By P. Newton (Littleborough, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Some of the programming stuctures of VHDL can be confusing but this book helps to unravel them. This is a cut version of The Designers Guide to VHDL. Its is a readable text but keeps its content to a more reference or quick guide companion style.
