Summary:

The IEEE 1364-2001 standard, nicknamed Verilog-2001', is thefirst major update to the Verilog language since its inception in1984. This book presents 45 significant enhancements contained inVerilog-2001 standard. A few of the new features described in thisbook are: This book assumes that the reader is already familiar with usingVerilog. It supplements other excellent books on how to use theVerilog language, such as "The Verilog Hardware DescriptionLanguage," by Donald Thomas and Philip Moorby (Kluwer AcademicPublishers, ISBN: 0-7923-8166-1) and "Verilog Quickstart: APractical Guide to Simulation" "and Synthesis," by James Lee(Kluwer Academic Publishers, ISBN: 0-7923-8515-2).
