Digital Systems Design with VHDL and Synthesis

K.C. Chang presents an integrated approach to digital design
principles, processes, and implementations to help the reader
design increasingly complex systems within shorter design cycles.
Chang introduces digital design concepts, VHDL coding, VHDL
simulation, synthesis commands, and strategies together.

Digital Systems Design with VHDL and Synthesis focuses on
the ultimate product of the design cycle: the implementation of a
digital design. Many of the design techniques and considerations
illustrated in the text are examples of actual real-world
designs.

Unique features of the book include the following:

* VHDL code explained line by line to capture the logic behind
the design concepts

* Simulation waveforms, synthesized schematics, and results are
shown, verified, and analyzed

* VHDL code is synthesized and commands and strategies are
discussed

* Variations on the design techniques and common mistakes are
addressed

* Demonstrated standard cell, gate array, and FPGA three design
processes, each with a complete design case study

* Test bench, post-layout verification, and test vector
generation processes are illustrated
