Description
The skills and guidance needed to master RTL hardware design This book teaches readers how to systematically design efficient,portable, and scalable Register Transfer Level (RTL) digitalcircuits using the VHDL hardware description language and synthesissoftware. Focusing on the module-level design, which is composed offunctional units, routing circuit, and storage, the bookillustrates the relationship between the VHDL constructs and theunderlying hardware components, and shows how to develop codes thatfaithfully reflect the module-level design and can be synthesizedinto efficient gate-level implementation. Several unique features distinguish the book: * Coding style that shows a clear relationship between VHDLconstructs and hardware components * Conceptual diagrams that illustrate the realization of VHDLcodes * Emphasis on the code reuse * Practical examples that demonstrate and reinforce designconcepts, procedures, and techniques * Two chapters on realizing sequential algorithms in hardware * Two chapters on scalable and parameterized designs andcoding * One chapter covering the synchronization and interface betweenmultiple clock domains Although the focus of the book is RTL synthesis, it also examinesthe synthesis task from the perspective of the overall developmentprocess. Readers learn good design practices and guidelines toensure that an RTL design can accommodate future simulation,verification, and testing needs, and can be easily incorporatedinto a larger system or reused. Discussion is independent oftechnology and can be applied to both ASIC and FPGA devices. With a balanced presentation of fundamentals and practicalexamples, this is an excellent textbook for upper-levelundergraduate or graduate courses in advanced digital logic.Engineers who need to make effective use of today's synthesissoftware and FPGA devices should also refer to this book.
