Cavanagh Joseph. Digital Design and Verilog HDL Fundamentals

CRC Press, 2011. — 1168 p.Comprehensive and self contained, this tutorial covers the design of a plethora of combinational and sequential logic circuits using conventional logic design and Verilog HDL. Number systems and number representations are presented along with various binary codes. Several advanced topics are covered, including functional decomposition and iterative networks. A variety of examples are provided for combinational and sequential logic, computer arithmetic, and advanced topics such as Hamming code error correction. Constructs supported by Verilog are described in detail. All designs are continued to completion. Each chapter includes numerous design issues of varying complexity to be resolved by the reader.The purpose of this book is to provide a thorough exposition of the analysis and synthesis of combinational and sequential logic circuits, where sequential logic consists of synchronous and asynchronous sequential machines. Emphasis is placed on structured and rigorous design principles that can be applied to practical applications. Each step of the analysis and synthesis procedures is clearly delineated. Each method that is presented is expounded in sufficient detail with several accompanying examples.
The Verilog hardware description language (HDL) is used extensively throughout the book for both combinational and sequential logic design. Verilog HDL is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard: 1364-1995. The book concentrates on combinational and sequential logic design with emphasis on the detailed design of various Verilog HDL projects. The examples are designed first using traditional design techniques, then implemented using Verilog HDL. This allows the reader to correlate and compare the two design methodologies.
The book is intended to be tutorial, and as such, is comprehensive and self contained. All designs are carried through to completion — nothing is left unfinished or partially designed. Each chapter includes numerous problems of varying complexity to be designed by the reader, including both traditional logic design techniques and Verilog HDL design techniques in appropriate chapters. The Verilog HDL designs include the design module, the test bench module which tests the design for correct functionality, the outputs obtained from the test bench, and the waveforms obtained
from the test bench.
