Summary:

VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is a hardware programming language commonly used for FPGA or ASIC designs. FPGAs and the like are often found within larger applications such as cell phones, medical imagers, and personal media devices. As these devices are becoming more ubiquitous so the need for engineers fluent in VHDL design grows. Engineers commonly face an immediate need to learn a language or technique quickly and this book can answer that requirement. Bill Kafig, Xilinx, swiftly brings the reader up to speed on techniques and functions commonly used as well as commands and dat
