Verilog(r) QuickStart: A Practical Guide to Simulation and Synthesis in Verilog

By James M. Lee

Book Overview

From a review of the Second Edition
'If you are new to the field and want to know what "all this Verilog stuff is about," you've found the golden goose. The text here is straight forward, complete, and example rich -mega-multi-kudos to the author James Lee. Though not as detailed as the Verilog reference guides from Cadence, it likewise doesn't suffer from the excessive abstractness those make you wade through. This is a quick and easy read, and will serve as a desktop reference for as long as Verilog lives. Best testimonial: I'm buying my fourth and fifth copies tonight (I've loaned out/lost two of my others).'

easy transition to verilog, good reference book

I have a VHDL background and this book was recommended to me. It made a smoooth transition into verilog. I read the book globally and then kept the book as a reference on my desk. If I needed something specific like file I/O and generating vectors, I used the example as a template to complete my verification. Also it helped to organize my files, like having one verification environment and easily plugging in tests by use of common tasks. Currently I am using Verilog and System Verilog, this book is still used regularly.

Very good book for beginer

I was lucky to have James Lee class at ucsc/ca. This book willbe very useful for all reader from beginer to practical expert.

Verilog testbench reference

The book provides a good resource for those designers that already know Verilog and wish to have coding tips for simulation testbenches. It is learn-by-example format, and is updated to include the '99 verilog standard. The book is well laid out, meaning that from the index it is easy to find a relevant coding example. I also bought "A designers guide to VHDL" Peter J. Ashendon which is a language reference for VHDL by example.
