VHDL 101: Everything you need to know to get started (Paperback)

VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is a hardware programming language commonly used for FPGA (Field Programable Gate Array) or ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) 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 answers that requirement. Bill Kafig of industry leader Xilinx, swiftly brings the reader up to speed on techniques and functions commonly used as well as commands and data management. Extensive simple, complete designs are accompany the content for maximum comprehension. The book concludes with a section on design re-use which is of utmost importance to today's engineer that needs to meet a deadline and lower costs per unit.

VHDL（VHSIC硬體描述語言）是一種常用於FPGA（現場可程式閘陣列）或ASIC（特定應用積體電路）設計的硬體程式語言。FPGA等類似的設備通常用於較大型的應用中，例如手機、醫療影像設備和個人媒體設備。隨著這些設備變得越來越普及，對精通VHDL設計的工程師的需求也在增加。工程師通常面臨著迅速學習一種語言或技術的需求，而本書正是為了滿足這種需求而編寫的。行業領先者Xilinx的Bill Kafig迅速帶領讀者掌握常用的技術和功能，以及命令和數據管理。書中還附有大量簡單完整的設計，以便更好地理解。書的最後一部分介紹了設計重用，這對於今天需要在截止日期內交付並降低單位成本的工程師來說至關重要。
