Product Description
Fundamentals of Digital Logic with VHDL Design teaches the basic design techniques for logic circuits. It emphasizes the synthesis of circuits and explains how circuits are implemented in real chips. Fundamental concepts are illustrated by using small examples, which are easy to understand. Then, a modular approach is used to show how larger circuits are designed. . VHDL is used to demonstrate how the basic building blocks and larger systems are defined in a hardware description language, producing designs that can be implemented with modern CAD tools. The book emphasizes CAD through the use of Altera's Quartus II CAD software, a state-of-the-art digital circuit design package. This software produces automatic mapping of designs written in VHDL into Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs).. . .

I had one of the author of this book as my professor during my second year of engineering at the University of Toronto. I used this book for my Digital System course. I am currently doing ASIC Design where much of my work required VHDL. This is an "OK" book. It contains a lot of information but nothing special because other similar books also have such infos. I would recommend another book because I am too also refering to other sources for reference. If you are looking to learn VHDL in depth, please look else where. As for beginner, there are much better books out there for Digital Circuits design and VHDL. This is not a book worth its price. I sold it after my second year and I am glad I did it. Get yourself a book strictly on Digital Circuit alone, get the hardware basics in your head first, then get another book strictly on VHDL. This should gives you a fair depth into the Digital Design.
Not a very good text June 28, 2003

I'm currently using this book for a Digital Design class and I have yet to be impressed. Though this book has lots of useful information it phrases it in such a way that you have to be a rocket scientist to understand it. As for the VHDL you're supposed to be learning from this book it stinks. I work the problems at the end of the chapters for practice and constantly have problems finding the answers in the text or finding example VHDL code that is relavent to the problem I'm trying to answer. In short I do not recommend this book.

This "textbook" has very few and skimpy examples of
how to work problems.
It also has a solution book which is not available to
students!!!
Therefore, the student cannot check his/her answers to
the review exercises at the end of the chapters!! Huh???
I can't believe that any school or instructor would choose this
this as a textbook or even as an additional reference!!!
 Excellent book for getting started. January 23, 2003

This book does an excellent job of covering the basics of digital logic circuits and chips, and a solid job of covering VHDL design. While some "newer" topics are not covered, that does not hinder this book, as it aims provide a fundamental understanding of Digital components and circuits, and VHDL.
There are actually usable textbooks out there! December 5, 2002

It certainly shocked me, after the rash of worthless textbooks I've had to buy in my college career, but this book was actually usable. It's not spectacular, mind you, but I don't think there is such a thing as a spectacular textbook. It was good enough to keep after the class was over, and I may even refer to it again sometime.
