Verilog Hdl Synthesis A Practical Primer

With this book, you can: 1. Learn Verilog HDL the fast and easy way. 2. Obtain a thorough understanding of the basic building blocks of Verilog HDL. 3. Find out how to model hardware. 4. Find out how to test the hardware model using a test bench.

This book concentrates on common classes of hardware architectures and design problems, and focuses on the process of transitioning design requirements into synthesizable HDL code. Using his extensive, wide-ranging experience in computer architecture and hardware design, as well as in his training and consulting work, Ben provides numerous examples of real-life designs illustrated with VHDL and Verilog code. This code is shown in a way that makes it easy for the reader to gain a greater understanding of the languages and how they compare. All code presented in the book is included on the companion CD, along with other information, such as application notes.

This book details molecular methodologies used in identifying a disease gene, from the initial stage of study design to the next stage of preliminary locus identification, and ending with stages involved in target characterization and validation.

VERILOG HDL, Second Editionby Samir PalnitkarWith a Foreword by Prabhu GoelWritten forboth experienced and new users, this book gives you broad coverage of VerilogHDL. The book stresses the practical design and verification perspective ofVerilog rather than emphasizing only the language aspects. The informationpresented is fully compliant with the IEEE 1364-2001 Verilog HDL standard. Among its many features, this edition- bull; bull;Describes state-of-the-art verification methodologies bull;Provides full coverage of gate, dataflow (RTL), behavioral and switch modeling bull;Introduces you to the Programming Language Interface (PLI) bull;Describes logic synthesis methodologies bull;Explains timing and delay simulation bull;Discusses user-defined primitives bull;Offers many practical modeling tips Includes over 300 illustrations, examples, and exercises, and a Verilog resource list.Learning objectives and summaries are provided for each chapter. About the CD-ROMThe CD-ROM contains a Verilog simulator with agraphical user interface and the source code for the examples in the book. Whatpeople are saying about Verilog HDL- "Mr.Palnitkar illustrates how and why Verilog HDL is used to develop today'smost complex digital designs. This book is valuable to both the novice and theexperienced Verilog user. I highly recommend it to anyone exploring Verilogbased design." -RajeevMadhavan, Chairman and CEO, Magma Design Automation "Thisbook is unique in its breadth of information on Verilog and Verilog-relatedtopics. It is fully compliant with the IEEE 1364-2001 standard, contains allthe information that you need on the basics, and devotes several chapters toadvanced topics such as verification, PLI, synthesis and modelingtechniques." -MichaelMcNamara, Chair, IEEE 1364-2001 Verilog Standards Organization Thishas been my favorite Verilog book since I picked it up in college. It is theonly book that covers practical Verilog. A must have for beginners andexperts." -BerendOzceri, Design Engineer, Cisco Systems, Inc. "Simple,logical and well-organized material with plenty of illustrations, makes this anideal textbook." -Arun K. Somani, Jerry R.

If you have the right tools, designing a microprocessor shouldnt be complicated. The Verilog hardware description language (HDL) is one such tool. It can enable you to depict, simulate, and synthesise an electronic design, and thus increase your productivity by reducing the overall workload associated with a given project. Monte Dalrymples Microprocessor Design Using Verilog HDL is a practical guide to processor design in the real world. It presents the Verilog HDL in an easily digestible fashion and serves as a thorough introduction about reducing a computer architecture and instruction set to practice. Youre led through the microprocessor design process from start to finish, and essential topics ranging from writing in Verilog to debugging and testing are laid bare. The book details the following, and more: Verilog HDL Review: data types, bit widths/labelling, operations, statements, and design hierarchy; Verilog Coding Style: files vs. modules, indentation, and design organisation; Design Work: instruction set architecture, external bus interface, and machine cycle; Microarchitecture: design spreadsheet and essential worksheets (eg: Operation, Instruction Code, and Next State); Writing in Verilog: choosing encoding, assigning states in a state machine, and files (eg: defines.v, hierarchy.v, machine.v); Debugging, Verification, and Testing: debugging requirements, verification requirements, testing requirements, and the test bench; Post Simulation: enhancements and reduction to practice.
