RESUMEN

Digital Design: An Embedded Systems Approach Using Verilog provides a foundation in digital design for students in computer engineering, electrical engineering and computer science courses. It takes an up-to-date and modern approach of presenting digital logic design as an activity in a larger systems design context.

Rather than focus on aspects of digital design that have little relevance in a realistic design context, this book concentrates on modern and evolving knowledge and design skills. Hardware description language (HDL)-based design and verification is emphasized—Verilog examples are used extensively throughout. By treating digital logic as part of embedded systems design, this book provides an understanding of the hardware needed in the analysis and design of systems comprising both hardware and software components.

Includes a Web site with links to vendor tools, labs and tutorials.

• Presents digital logic design as an activity in a larger systems design context.
• Features extensive use of Verilog examples to demonstrate HDL usage at the abstract behavioural level and register transfer level, as well as for low-level verification and verification environments.
• Includes worked examples throughout to enhance the reader's understanding and retention of the material.
• Companion Web site includes links to CAD tools for FPGA design from Synplicity, Mentor Graphics, and Xilinx, Verilog source code for all the examples in the book, lecture slides, laboratory projects, and solutions to exercises.
 
INDICE

To be truly effective in designing tomorrow's electronics, it's not enough to master today's new processor-centric, integration-focused techniques. You'll need to know how to implement them with your hardware description language of choice. If that language is Verilog, here's the book you need: modern, accessible, and packed with Verilog examples.

Ashenden introduces a start-to-finish, model-based design process; then walks step-by-step through basic techniques for designing combinational and sequential circuits. He reviews physical design issues related to ASICSs, FPGAs, and other modern ICs. Next, he presents a detailed introduction to embedded system processors and software instructions; techniques for encoding and storing instructions, and connecting processors with memory. There's a full chapter on I/O controllers; and another on designing accelerators -- complete with an extended example.

(By the way, for those who prefer VHDL to Verilog, Ashenden's written a companion book with the same content, substituting VHDL examples for Verilog throughout.) Bill Camarda, from the December 200
