What is the best VHDL book?

[delay]

Hi all,

What is the best VHDL book out there that has practical dimension of developing hardware to it and does not emphasize as much on VHDL as a language? I can now say that my level is not of a rookie anymore.

I have the following books and honestly I am not too impressed with them with exception to Perry's who tried his best to convey the concept:

VHDL by Douglas Perry

HDL Chip Design - A Practical Guide for Designing, Synthesizing and
simulating ASICs and FPGAs using VHDL or Verilog by Douglas J. Smith

VHDL Techniques, Experiments, and Caveats by Joseph Pick

VHDL: Analysis and Modelling of Digital Systems by Zainalabedin Navabi

The VHDL Cookbook by Peter J. Ashenden

VHDL: A Logic Synthesis Approach By David Naylor and Simon Jones

Delay (delayed by technology)

i think VHDL is best learnt by writing and modelling small circuits and going on to implement something like a usart...books can give u only the constructs..but a well implemented project will help a lot ...perry is a good book...and one can also try vhdl by j.bhaskar...

best vhdl books

My teacher in VHDL programming have read a lot of VHDL books.
He thinks this book is the best for learning VHDL programming:

Title: The Designer's Guide to VHDL
Author: Peter J. Ashenden
Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann

You can look inside the book here:
https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...f=sr_1_2/102-1311749-0424931?v=glance&s=books


Peter J. Ashenden have also written other VHDL books:
https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...author=Ashenden, Peter J./102-1311749-0424931

But I couldn't find The VHDL Cookbook by Peter J. Ashenden as you mentioned.

Maybe this book is something like you was asking for:

Programmable Logic Handbook: PLDs, CPLDs and FPGAs
by Ashok K. Sharma

https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...1/ref=cm_lm_asin/102-1311749-0424931?v=glance

I haven't read this book, only the description:

Editorial Reviews

From Book News, Inc.
For design and application engineers, explains the user- configurable minicomputers including complex programmable logic devices and field programmable gate arrays, that form the heart of such consumer devices as cellular phones, video games, microwaves, disk drives, and laptops and also of military and space satellite systems. Considers architectures, design and development tools, and applications ranging from simple to highly complex devices including space hardware. Includes a list of design tool suppliers and products. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR

Synopsis
A guide to using Field Programmable Logic Devices (FPLDs), this text argues that they are an essential part of high performance electronic systems because of the board space savings, low power usage, and quick turn around times they provide.

Book Description
If you're among the growing group of design pros looking to replace discrete logic devices with field programmable logic devices (FPLDs), you'll want to get your hands on the new Programmable Logic Handbook. Top expert Ashok K. Sharma gives you a firm working knowledge of FPLD design and optimization. He starts off by explaining basic logic structures, including programmable logic devices and arrays (PLDs/PLAs), field programmable gate arrays (PGAs), complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), erasable programmable logic devices (EPLDs), and configurable Logic Arrays (CRAs). He then helps you understand all the trade-oofs involved in FPLD design and selection. It's the one resource you can count on to nail down all major FPLD issues: design methodologies...technoloies and architectures...design and development tools for simulation, verification, local synthesis, technology mapping, placement and routing...schematic capture...dexign for testability...reliability assurance...electrical testing..performance specs...fabrication processes...the works!

download vhdl book

I guess Designer's Guide to VHDL is the best .. but I don't know why it's not available in PDF format here in electroda ! .. this book is a real master piece .. i suggest everyone reading it ..

hi
I'am studing VHDL, i use the book:
VHDL, Analysis and Modelling of Digital Systems
Zainalabedin Navabi, pubisher: MCGraw Hill

but i can't find manual solution, code simulation ... which is included with this text
i hope someone give me the link, to download, i thank very much

yes, it's very good
thank you very much
but about the book:
VHDL, Analysis and Modelling of Digital Systems
Zainalabedin Navabi, pubisher: MCGraw Hill ?
any of you show me where i can find instructor's manual and simulation code for this text? please !

i am not posting about books name to get points...

i have read few books on VHDL... bout 5 books...

and wad "delay" says is true... however, you miss one great book...

Circuit Design With VHDL, V. A. Pedroni; MIT Press

the "vhdl by example, Perry", only make sense to me after i read the MIT book...

the MIT book is the one tht is practical n make people hav some physical meaning to VHDL... then only i read back the VHDL by example n i start to understand..

all other books are ****... only little part of them make sense...

mostly now i refer the "VHDL stadard reference manual"

regards,
sp

navabi lecture notes on vhdl

The best VHDL book for beginners is VHDL for designers by Stefan Sjoholm and Lennart Lindh. If you need something for advanced study try to find "HDL Chip Design" by Douglas Smith.

VHDL for designers

probably no chance to find it. Not in emule, not here. I believe neither the Chang exists in ebook form.
