VHDL Coding Styles and Methodologies - Ben Cohen - Bog

VHDL Coding Styles and Methodologies provides an in-depth study of the VHDL language rules, coding styles, and methodologies. This book clearly distinguishes good from poor coding methodologies using an easy to remember symbology notation along with a rationale for each guideline. The VHDL concepts, rules and styles are demonstrated using complete compilable and simulatable examples which are also supplied on the accompanying disk. VHDL Coding Styles and Methodologies provides practical applications of VHDL and techniques that are current in the industry. It explains how to apply the VHDL guidelines using several complete examples. The `learning by example' teaching approach along with an in-depth presentation of the language rules application methodology provides the necessary knowledge to create digital hardware designs and models that are readable, maintainable, predictable, and efficient. VHDL Coding Styles and Methodologies is intended for both college students and design engineers. It provides a practical approach to learning VHDL. Combining methodologies and coding styles along with VHDL rules leads the reader in the right direction from the beginning.
