3. VHDL Design: Representation and Synthesis [With CDROM]

short description is not available

VHDL Design Representation and Synthesis, Second EDITION is an exceptionally clear, thorough, and up-to-date introduction to today's leading approach to hardware design: synthesis using a hardware description language and today's leading synthesis tools. Armstrong and Gray begin with an introduction to structured design, and a unified explanation of the VHDL language and its key constructs. Next, they introduce the modeling process step by step, using many examples at varying levels of abstraction, and demonstrate techniques designed to maximize both simulation efficiency and compatibility with synthesis tools. Design tools: editors, simulators, checkers, analyzers, optimizers, and synthesizers VHDL: major constructs, lexical description, source files, data types, data objects, statements, and advanced features Fundamental VHDL modeling techniques: propagation and time delay, concurrency, scheduling, combinational logic, sequential logic, and primitives Integrating VHDL into the design flow, from executable specifications at the algorithmic level through implementations at the gate or cell level Modling PLDs, gate arrays, FPGAs (using Xilinx tools) and standard cells (using Synopsys tools) This EDITION contains extensive new coverage of multilevel modeling, design with standard parts and ASICs data and control unit design, modeling for synthesis, and more. Review problems are included in each chapter, and over 300 references are provided. If you intEND to design with VHDL, this is the book to start with.

4. Digital Design: With an Introduction to the Verilog Hdl, Vhdl, and Systemverilog, Pre-Owned (Hardcover)

Pre-Owned - For introductory courses on digital design in an Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science department. A clear and accessible approach to the basic tools, concepts, and applications of digital design A modern update to a classic, authoritative text, Digital Design, 5th Edition teaches the fundamental concepts of digital design in a clear, accessible manner. The text presents the basic tools for the design of digital circuits and provides procedures suitable for a variety of digital applications. Like the previous editions, this edition of Digital Design supports a multimodal approach to learning, with a focus on digital design, regardless of language. Recognizing that three public-domain languages--Verilog, VHDL, and SystemVerilog--all play a role in design flows for today's digital devices, the 5th Edition offers parallel tracks of presentation of multiple languages, but allows concentration on a single, chosen language.

5. Circuits, Signals and Systems, Used [Hardcover]

These twenty lectures have been developed and refined by Professor Siebert during the more than two decades he has been teaching introductory Signals and Systems courses at MIT. The lectures are designed to pursue a variety of goals in parallel: to familiarize students with the properties of a fundamental set of analytical tools; to show how these tools can be applied to help understand many important concepts and devices in modern communication and control engineering practice; to explore some of the mathematical issues behind the powers and limitations of these tools; and to begin the development of the vocabulary and grammar, common images and metaphors, of a general language of signal and system theory. Although broadly organized as a series of lectures, many more topics and examples (as well as a large set of unusual problems and laboratory exercises) are included in the book than would be presented orally. Extensive use is made throughout of knowledge acquired in early courses in elementary electrical and electronic circuits and differential equations. Contents:Review of the "classical" formulation and solution of dynamic equations for simple electrical circuits; The unilateral Laplace transform and its applications; System functions; Poles and zeros; Interconnected systems and feedback; The dynamics of feedback systems; Discrete-time signals and linear difference equations; The unilateral Z-transform and its applications; The unit-sample response and discrete-time convolution; Convolutional representations of continuous-time systems; Impulses and the superposition integral; Frequency-domain methods for general LTI systems; Fourier series; Fourier transforms and Fourier's theorem; Sampling in time and frequency; Filters, real and ideal; Duration, rise-time and bandwidth relationships: The uncertainty principle; Bandpass operations and analog communication systems; Fourier transforms in discrete-time systems; Random Signals; Modern communication systems. William Siebert is Ford Professor of Engineering at MIT. Circuits, Signals, and Systemsis included in The MIT Press Series in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, copublished with McGraw-Hill.

6. Fundamentals of Computer Organization and Design, Used [Hardcover]

A new advanced textbook/reference providing a comprehensive survey of hardware and software architectural principles and methods of computer systems organization and design. The book is suitable for a first course in computer organization. The style is similar to that of the author's book on assembly language in that it strongly supports self-study by students. This organization facilitates compressed presentation of material. Emphasis is also placed on related concepts to practical designs/chips. Topics: material presentation suitable for self- study; concepts related to practical designs and implementations; extensive examples and figures; details provided on several digital logic simulation packages; free MASM download instructions provided; and end-of-chapter exercises.

7. Embedded Controllers: 80186, 80188, And 80386Ex [Hardcover - Used]

CONDITION - USED - Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions. Accessories such as CD, codes, toys, may not be included. This is the first book that deals with the programming and interfacing aspects of the embedded microprocessor family that has gained wide application in many areas of electronics, communications, and control systems. The book uses the Microsoft Macro assembler program (MASM) that develops many example programming applications using not only the 80186/80188 and 80386EX, but all the Intel family members from the 80486 through the Pentium Pro processor and contains hundreds of applications that can be executed on the personal computer.

8. Machine Beauty: Elegance And The Heart Of Technology (Master Minds Series), Used [Hardcover]

When something works well, you can feel it; there is a sense of rightness to it. We call that rightness beauty, and it ought to be the single most important component of design.This recognition is at the heart of David Gelernter's witty argued essay, Machine Beauty, which defines beauty as an inspired mating of simplicity and power. You can see it in a Bauhaus chair, the Hoover Dam, or an Emerson radio circa 1930. In contrast, too many contemporary technologists run out of ideas and resort to gimmicks and features; they are rarely capable of real, structural ingenuity.Nowhere is this more evident than in the world of computers. You don't have to look far to see how oblivious most computer technologists are to the idea of beauty. Just look at how ugly your computer cabinet is, how unwieldy and out of sync it feels with the manner and speed with which you process thought.The best designers, however, are obsessed with beauty. Both hardware and software should afford us the greatest opportunity to achieve deep beauty, the kind of beauty that happens when many types of loveliness reinforce one another, when design expresses an underlying technology, a machine logic. Program software ought to be transparent; it should engage what Gelernter calls "a thought-amplifying feedback loop," a creative symbiosis with its user. These principles, beautiful in themselves, will set the stage for the next technological revolution, in which the pursuit of elegance will lead to extraordinary innovations. Machine Beauty will delight Gelernter's growing audience, fans of his provocative and biting journalism. Anyone who manufactures, designs, or uses computers will be galvanized by his cogent arguments and tantalizing glimpse of a bright future, where beautiful technology abounds.
