Introduction to Logic Synthesis Using Verilog HDL explains how to write accurate Verilog descriptions of digital systems that can be synthesized into digital system netlists with desirable characteristics. The book contains numerous Verilog examples that begin with simple combinational networks and progress to synchronous sequential logic systems. Common pitfalls in the development of synthesizable Verilog HDL are also discussed along with methods for avoiding them. The target audience is anyone with a basic understanding of digital logic principles who wishes to learn how to model digital systems in the Verilog HDL in a manner that also allows for automatic synthesis. A wide range of readers, from hobbyists and undergraduate students to seasoned professionals, will find this a compelling and approachable work. The book provides concise coverage of the material and includes many examples, enabling readers to quickly generate high-quality synthesizable Verilog models.

About the Author:

Robert B. Reese received the B.S. degree from Louisiana Tech University, Ruston, in 1979 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Texas A&M University, College Station, in 1982 and 1985, respectively, all in electrical engineering. He served as a Member of the Technical Staff of the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), Austin, TX, from 1985 to 1988. Since 1988, he has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, where he is an Associate Professor. Courses that he teaches include VLSI systems, Digital System design, and Microprocessors. His research interests include self-timed digital systems and computer architecture.Mitchell A. Thornton received the BSEE degree from Oklahoma State University in 1985, the MSEE degree from the University of Texas in Arlington in 1990, and the MSCS in 1993 and Ph.D. in computer engineering in 1995 from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. His industrial experience includes full-time employment at E-Systems (now L-3 communications) in Greenville, Texas and the Cyrix Corporation in Richardson, Texas where he served in a variety of engineering positions between 1985 through 1992. From 1995 through 1999, he was a faculty member in the Department of Computer Systems Engineering at the University of Arkansas and from 1999 through 2002 in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Mississippi State University. Currently, he is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and, by courtesy, Electrical Engineering at Southern Methodist University. His research and teaching interests are in the general area of digital circuits and systems design with specific emphasis in EDA/CAD methods including asynchronous circuit and computer arithmetic circuit synthesis, formal verification/validation and simulation of digital systems, multiple-valued logic, and spectral techniques.
