This book provides a new paradigm for teaching digital systems design. It puts forth the view that modern digital logic consists of several interacting areas that combine in a cohesive fashion. This includes traditional subjects such as Boolean algebra, logic formalisms, Karnaugh maps, and other classical topics. However, it goes beyond these subject areas by including VHDL, CMOS, VLSI and RISC architectures to show what the field looks like to a modern logic designer. Modern digital design is no longer practiced as a stand-alone art. The integrated approach used in this book is designed to ensure that graduating engineers are prepared to meet the challenges of the new century.

System-on-a-chip (SoC) has become an essential technique to lower product costs and maximize power efficiency, particularly as the mobility and size requirements of electronics continues to grow. It has therefore become increasingly important for electrical engineers to develop a strong understanding of the key stages of hardware description language (HDL) design flow based on cell-based libraries or field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices. Honed and revised through years of classroom use, Lin focuses on developing, verifying, and synthesizing designs of practical digital systems using the most widely used hardware description Language: Verilog HDL. Explains how to perform synthesis and verification to achieve optimized synthesis results and compiler times Offers complete coverage of Verilog syntax Illustrates the entire design and verification flow using an FPGA case study Presents real-world design examples such as LED and LCD displays, GPIO, UART, timers, and CPUs Emphasizes design/implementation tradeoff options, with coverage of ASICs and FPGAs Provides an introduction to design for testability Gives readers deeper understanding by using problems and review questions in each chapter Comes with downloadable Verilog HDL source code for most examples in the text Includes presentation slides of all book figures for student reference Digital System Designs and Practices Using Verilog HDL and FPGAs is an ideal textbook for either fundamental or advanced digital design courses beyond the digital logic design level. Design engineers who want to become more proficient users of Verilog HDL as well as design FPGAs with greater speed and accuracy will find this book indispensable.
