The VHDL Reference : A Practical Guide to Computer-Aided Integrated Circuit Design including VHDL-AMS

Designed to teach VHDL as a design tool and to provide a comprehensive reference library, this work incorporates a beginners' tutorial and a VHDL reference for engineers together with a workshop featuring design examples.

The authors explain how VHDL can be used as a tool for the design of digital systems.

VHDL-AMS (analog and mixed-signal systems) is a separate design methodology which is also featured.

The tutorial describes the concept of VHDL for modelling and synthesis, features examples to clarify concepts and contains multiple-choice questions to test students' knowledge.

The workshop element takes the reader through an entire circuit design.

In addition, a fully searchable HTML version of the VHDL reference on CD-ROM accompanies the text.
