VHDL

A reference which should enable the user to fully master this powerful hardware description language. This is a complete guide to writing VHDL (VHSIC - Very High Speed Integrated Circuits - Hardware Description Language) descriptions for every level of hardware design, from the initial specification to gate level implementation. After introducing each feature of VHDL and providing real-world examples to show how the feature should be properly implemented, the book goes on to walk the reader through a complete top-down design example for a wending machine controller written in VHDL from the algorithmic level to the gate-level description.
