About this title

From the Back Cover:

The complete user's guide to VHDL. VHDL is firmly entrenched as the universal communication medium for computer-aided design. In this comprehensive guide, updated and expanded to reflect the very latest design and synthesis methodology, expert Doug Perry guides you through the complex process of creating a VHDL design: simulating and synthesizing; placing and routing; using VITAL simulation to verify the final result. Whether you're a VHDL veteran or just getting acquainted with the language, this sourcebook will have you writing and verifying concise, efficient VHDL descriptions of hardware designs in surprisingly little time. And a detailed example walks you through a small CPU design from the VHDL capture to VITAL simulation, honing your knowledge in preparation for your own high-level design flow. A handy desktop reference as well a a hadns-on guide, VHDL also contains: a listing of the IEEE 1164 STD-LOGIC package used throughout the book; useful tables and figures; instructions for reading the Bachus-Naur format (NFF) descriptions found in the VHDL Language Reference Manual.
