Description
John Wiley Digital Design with RTL Design VHDL and Verilog 2010 Edition by Frank Vahid
An eagerly anticipated, up-to-date guide to essential digitaldesign fundamentals Offering a modern, updated approach to digital design, thismuch-needed book reviews basic design fundamentals before divinginto specific details of design optimization. You begin with anexamination of the low-levels of design, noting a clear distinctionbetween design and gate-level minimization. The author thenprogresses to the key uses of digital design today, and how it isused to build high-performance alternatives to software. * Offers a fresh, up-to-date approach to digital design, whereasmost literature available is sorely outdated * Progresses though low levels of design, making a cleardistinction between design and gate-level minimization * Addresses the various uses of digital design today * Enables you to gain a clearer understanding of applying digitaldesign to your life With this book by your side, you'll gain a better understandingof how to apply the material in the book to real-worldscenarios.
