Digital Systems Design Using VHDL

Written for an advanced-level course in digital systems design, DIGITAL SYSTEMS DESIGN USING VHDL integrates the use of the industry-standard hardware description language VHDL into the digital design process. Following a review of basic concepts of logic design, the author introduces the basics of VHDL, and then incorporates more coverage of advanced VHDL topics. Rather than simply teach VHDL as a programming language, this book emphasizes the practical use of VHDL in the digital design process.

Charles H. Roth received his B.E.E., M.S., and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, M.I.T., and Stanford. He joined the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin in 1961, where he is currently Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Roth received the General Dynamics award for outstanding engineering teaching after he developed a self-paced course in logic design. His teaching and research interests include digital systems theory and design, microcomputer systems, and VHDL applications. He is the author of four textbooks including Fundamentals of Logic Design 5e.
