Circuit Design
Circuit Design with VHDL
Volnei A. Pedroni
This textbook teaches VHDL using system -
bined with programmable logic and supported by laboratory
exercises. While other textbooks concentrate only on lan-
guage features, Circuit Design with VHDL offers a fully inte-
grated presentation of VHDL and design concepts by
including a large number plete design examples,
illustrative circuit diagrams, a review of fundamental design
concepts, fully explained solutions, and simulation results.
The text presents the information concisely pletely,
discussing in detail all indispensable features of the VHDL
synthesis. The book anized in a clear progression, with
the first part covering the circuit level, treating foundations
of VHDL and fundamental coding, while the second part cov-
ers the system level (units that might be located in a library
for code sharing, reuse, and partitioning), expanding upon
the earlier chapters to discuss system coding.
Part I, “Circuit Design,” examines in detail the back-
ground and coding techniques of VHDL, including code
structure, data types, operators and attributes, concurrent with Circuit Design
and sequential statements and code, objects (signals, vari-
ables, and constants), design of finite state machines, and
examples of additional circuit designs. Part II, “System with
Design,” builds on the material already presented, adding VHDL
elements intended mainly for library allocation; it examines VHDL
packages ponents, functions and procedures, and
additional examples of system design. Appendixes on pro- Volnei A. Pedroni
grammable logic devices (PLDs/FPGAs) and synthesis tools
follow Part II. The book’s highly original approach of teach-
ing through extensive system examples, as well as its
unique integration of VHDL and design, makes it suitable
both for use by students puter science and electrical
engineering.
