Rent 9780470531082 | Digital Design with RTL Design, Verilog and VHDL, 2nd Edition | Frank Vahid (University of California, Riverside, USA. ) @knetbooks.com

An eagerly anticipated, up-to-date guide to essential digital design fundamentals

Offering a modern, updated approach to digital design, this much-needed book reviews basic design fundamentals before diving into specific details of design optimization. You begin with an examination of the low-levels of design, noting a clear distinction between design and gate-level minimization. The author then progresses to the key uses of digital design today, and how it is used to build high-performance alternatives to software.

-Progresses though low levels of design, making a clear distinction between design and gate-level minimization

-Addresses the various uses of digital design today

-Enables you to gain a clearer understanding of applying digital design to your life

With this book by your side, you'll gain a better understanding of how to apply the material in the book to real-world scenarios.

Unique with its RTL-early organization, Vahid's text supports instructors wishing to develop strong design skills in their students. The emergence of parallel processing, multicore processors and FPGAs are blurring the lines between hardware and software and fundamentally altering the way digital design and design logic should be taught.
