Engineering

To be used as a primer or companion text for Digital Logic Design, Computer Architecture and VLSI Design courses given at the sophomore and junior levels.

Designed as an inexpensive companion text in courses that use VHDL, this book provides students with a thorough grounding in the basic concepts and language of VHDL, and allows them to apply what they've learned using realistic examples. Concepts are followed by examples and tutorials. For schools wanting to introduce VHDL into their undergraduate computer engineering sequence courses, this inexpensive supplement provides the basics.

For schools that wish to introduce VHDL into their undergraduate computer engineering sequence, VHDL is a complex language that is worthy of a dedicated course; yet this is not a practical option in most institutions.  This companion text enables instructors to integrate the basic concepts of VHDL into existing courses.  It is designed to develop an intuition and a structured way of thinking about VHDL models without spending a great deal of time on advanced language features.  Yalamanchili gives students a thorough grounding in the basic concepts and language of VHDL, and encourages them to apply what they have learned using realistic examples.  Concepts are followed by examples and tutorials.
