Digital System Design With Systemverilog

The Definitive, Up-to-Date Guide to Digital Design with SystemVerilog: Concepts, Techniques, and Code To design state-of-the-art digital hardware, engineers first specify functionality in a high-level Hardware Description Language (HDL)—and today’s most powerful, useful HDL is SystemVerilog, now an IEEE standard. Digital System Design with SystemVerilog is the first comprehensive introduction to both SystemVerilog and the contemporary digital hardware design techniques used with it. Building on the proven approach of his bestselling Digital System Design with VHDL, Mark Zwolinski covers everything engineers need to know to automate the entire design process with SystemVerilog—from modeling through functional simulation, synthesis, timing simulation, and verification. Zwolinski teaches through about a hundred and fifty practical examples, each with carefully detailed syntax and enough in-depth information to enable rapid hardware design and verification. All examples are available for download from the book's companion Web site, zwolinski.org. Coverage includes Using electronic design automation tools with programmable logic and ASIC technologies Essential principles of Boolean algebra and combinational logic design, with discussions of timing and hazards Core modeling techniques: combinational building blocks, buffers, decoders, encoders, multiplexers, adders, and parity checkers Sequential building blocks: latches, flip- flops, registers, counters, memory, and sequential multipliers Designing finite state machines: from ASM chart to D flip-flops, next state, and output logic Modeling interfaces and packages with SystemVerilog Designing testbenches: architecture, constrained random test generation, and assertion-based verification Describing RTL and FPGA synthesis models Understanding and implementing Design-for-Test Exploring anomalous behavior in asynchronous sequential circuits Performing Verilog-AMS and mixed-signal modeling Whatever your experience with digital design, older versions of Verilog, or VHDL, this book will help you discover SystemVerilog’s full power and use it to the fullest.

The book is designed to serve as a textbook for courses offered to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in electrical, electronics, and communication engineering. The objective of this book is to help the readers to understand the concepts of digital system design as well as to motivate the students to pursue research in this field. Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) is preferred in this book to realize digital architectures. Concepts of Verilog HDL are discussed in a separate chapter and many Verilog codes are given in this book for better understanding. Concepts of system Verilog to realize digital hardware are also discussed in a separate chapter. The book covers basic topics of digital logic design like binary number systems, combinational circuit design, sequential circuit design, and finite state machine (FSM) design. The book also covers some advanced topics on digital arithmetic like design of high-speed adders, multipliers, dividers, square root circuits, and CORDIC block. The readers can learn about FPGA and ASIC implementation steps and issues that arise at the time of implementation. One chapter of the book is dedicated to study the low-power design techniques and another to discuss the concepts of static time analysis (STA) of a digital system. Design and implementation of many digital systems are discussed in detail in a separate chapter. In the last chapter, basics of some advanced FPGA design techniques like partial re-configuration and system on chip (SoC) implementation are discussed. These designs can help the readers to design their architecture. This book can be very helpful to both undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers.

This is an introductory textbook on digital logic and digital systems design where the SystemVerilog language is interwoven throughout the text. This provides both new learners as well as existing digital logic designers a full introduction to SystemVerilog and its use for designing digital systems.

This is a textbook on digital logic design. It also teaches the SystemVerilog language. The structure of the book makes it useful as both a way to learn digital design, a way to learn SystemVerilog, or both. It is targeted at University level courses or at practicing engineers who desire to learn these topics.

DIGITAL SYSTEMS DESIGN USING VERILOG integrates coverage of logic design principles, Verilog as a hardware design language, and FPGA implementation to help electrical and computer engineering students master the process of designing and testing new hardware configurations. A Verilog equivalent of authors Roth and John's previous successful text using VHDL, this practical book presents Verilog constructs side-by-side with hardware, encouraging students to think in terms of desired hardware while writing synthesizable Verilog. Following a review of the basic concepts of logic design, the authors introduce the basics of Verilog using simple combinational circuit examples, followed by models for simple sequential circuits. Subsequent chapters ask readers to tackle more and more complex designs.

For those with a basic understanding of digital design, this book teaches the essential skills to design digital integrated circuits using Verilog and the relevant extensions of SystemVerilog. In addition to covering the syntax of Verilog and SystemVerilog, the author provides an appreciation of design challenges and solutions for producing working circuits. The book covers not only the syntax and limitations of HDL coding, but deals extensively with design problems such as partitioning and synchronization, helping you to produce designs that are not only logically correct, but will actually work when turned into physical circuits. Throughout the book, many small examples are used to validate concepts and demonstrate how to apply design skills. This book takes readers who have already learned the fundamentals of digital design to the point where they can produce working circuits using modern design methodologies. It clearly explains what is useful for circuit design and what parts of the languages are only software, providing a non-theoretical, practical guide to robust, reliable and optimized hardware design and development. Produce working hardware: Covers not only syntax, but also provides design know-how, addressing problems such as synchronization and partitioning to produce working solutions Usable examples: Numerous small examples throughout the book demonstrate concepts in an easy-to-grasp manner Essential knowledge: Covers the vital design topics of synchronization, essential for producing working silicon; asynchronous interfacing techniques; and design techniques for circuit optimization, including partitioning
