Starter's Guide to Verilog 2001

Introducing the Verilog HDL in a brief format, this text presents a selected set of the changes the popular hardware underwent in its first revision; emerging as IEEE Std 1364-2001 or Verilog-2001. It addresses the main features that support the design of combinational and sequential logic, and emphasizes synthesizable models, with a limited discussion of the theoretical framework for synthesis.

Advanced Digital Design with the Verilog™ HDL
For an advanced course in digital design for seniors and first-year graduate students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science.

This book builds on the student's background from a first course in logic design and focuses on developing, verifying, and synthesizing designs of digital circuits. The Verilog language is introduced in an integrated, but selective manner, only as needed to support design examples (includes appendices for additional language details). It addresses the design of several important circuits used in computer systems, digital signal processing, image processing, and other applications.

Introductory VHDL: From Simulation to Synthesis
For courses in Hardware Description Languages, Digital Design Laboratory, Digital Design, and Advanced Digital Design.  This text focuses on presenting the basic features of the VHDL language in the context of its use for both simulation and synthesis. Basic language concepts are motivated by familiarity with digital logic circuits with simulation and synthesis presented as complementary design processes. Field programmable gate arrays are used as the medium for synthesis laboratory exercises, and tutorials are provided for the use of the new integrated design environments from Xilinx—which is available with the text.

Verilog Styles for Synthesis of Digital Systems
For senior/graduate-level courses in Digital Hardware Design/Verilog. 
This text is designed specifically to make the cutting-edge techniques of digital hardware design more accessible to students—e.g., synthesis from high-level specifications, and field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) for many applications. The text uses a simpler language (Verilog) and standardizes the methodology to the point where seniors and first-year graduates can get medium complex designs through to gate-level simulation in a single semester.

Logic and Computer Design Fundamentals 2/E
For introductory courses in Computer Engineering or Computer Hardware Design in departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering Technology; also appropriate for a Digital Systems Design course. Covers the fundamentals of hardware and computer design with exceptional breadth and in a very accessible style using abundant examples to build understanding and problem-solving skills. Reflects the current industry trend of designing with hardware description languages (HDLs) instead of logic diagrams - provides optional introductory treatments of both VHDL and Verilog languages - with additional coverage available on the Companion Website for more substantial treatment. Gives the instructor maximum flexibility in HDL coverage. By covering broadly-based fundamentals, provides an excellent foundation and perspective for more advanced courses in digital hardware design and computer architecture and organization preparation.
