Circuit Synthesis with VHDL / by Roland Airiau, Jean-Michel Berge, Vincent Olive.

Show other versions (1)

One of the main applications of VHDL is the synthesis of electronic circuits. Circuit Synthesis with VHDL is an introduction to the use of VHDL logic (RTL) synthesis tools in circuit design. The modeling styles proposed are independent of specific market tools and focus on constructs widely recogniz...
