Book Description
The new edition of Glover and Sarma's highly-respected text provides students with an introduction to the basic concepts of power systems along with tools to aid them in applying these skills to real world situations. Like earlier editions of the book, physical concepts are highlighted while also giving necessary attention to math-ematical techniques. Both theory and modeling are developed from simple beginnings so that they can be readily extended to new and complex situations. Beginning in Ch. 3, students are introduced to new concepts critical to analyzing power systems, including coverage of both balanced and unbalanced operating conditions. The authors incorporate new tools and material to aid students with design issues and reflect recent trends in the field. Each book now contains a CD with Power World software. This package is commonly used in industry and will enable students to analyze and simulate power systems. The authors use the software to extend, rather than replace, the fully worked examples provided in previous editions. In the new edition, each Power World Simulator example includes a fully worked hand solution of the problem along with a Power World Simulator case (except when the problem size makes it impractical). The new edition also contains updated case studies on recent trends in the Power Systems field, including coverage of deregulation, increased power demand, economics, and alternative sources of energy. These case studies are derived from real life situations.

Basic book for starting with power engineering.......2002-03-08
This book was usefull for my introduction course to electric prower engineering, for this porpuse is the best book you can find. But Don't expect it to be very profound.
About this book...........2000-04-02
Although this book is translated into Chinese, I like to read this book. Because I'm a collage student, this book is necessary for me. I study electronic, and this book is my best choice. Such as transformer, transmission line, power flow...ect, it's full and great to people who want to study the more power system. It's not hard to understand.

Good for beginner....Not for advanced.......2006-05-15
This book is truely for beginners who have no clue of signal Integrity. He starts this book with stuff like Ohm's law and how capacitors and inductors work which most people learn in high school.
But his explanations are really simple and easy to understand without lots of technical jargon. Very good for beginners bot not so good for more experienced engineers.
Probably the most readable book you'll find on this.......2004-03-04
Brook's book is exceptional in the clarity of the writing, esp. in explaining key concepts that most engineers are fuzzy on. This book is great at giving engineers an intuitive feel for basic electromagnetics and how it relates to signal integrity and emi.
It's main strength (and to some it's major weakness) is that it avoids the mess of equations of better known books like Johnson's "High-Speed Digital Design". Brooks is also a good writer, and he writes very clearly. Don't get this book, if you already understand the subject, since it doesn't cover advanced material. However, this is essential reading for those who don't have a clue or for those (like me), who've memorized a lot of emi guidelines, without really understanding why they're necessary.
Given the book's title, the only area of improvement I can think of is a chapter or appendix on basic pcb manufacturing and terminology (buried vias, microvias, antipads, etc).
A chasm has been bridged..........2003-09-22
As an educator, lecturer and practicing designer I am given many books to read and make comment on. I find very few books that are able to bridge the chasm between the needs of a beginner learning about signal integrity and the needs of a professional desperate to solve design problems. This book is an excellent primer and reference for understanding the interrelationship between the board layout and the signal integrity problem. This book details design solutions to classic signal integrity problems and educates the novice in understanding the reasoning behind the solutions. There is a lot of nonsense being written about signal integrity and few people have the resources to filter out the chaff from hay. This book proves every principle presented with tested board layouts, demonstrated engineering principles, or documented laboratory results. Some people can see the world in formulas and some see the world pictorially. This book is rich in both forms of expressionism and its presentation will not exasperate the PCB designer who sees the world visually, or frustrate the engineer seeking equations for design representation. This book has been added to the required reading list for our PCB layout designers and product development engineering teams.
Book Description
The Designer's Guide to Verilog-AMS presents Verilog-AMS, the new analog and mixed-signal extensions to the widely used Verilog hardware description language.
It starts by describing a rigorous and proven top-down design methodology. Top-down design is widely seen as the key to being able to design very large and complex mixed-signal circuits and it is enabled by Verilog-AMS. Verilog-A and Verilog-AMS are then introduced without assuming that the reader has a background in behavioral modeling. Finally, it includes a comprehensive reference guide for the language.
The Designer's Guide to Verilog-AMS is extensively cross-referenced and indexed, making it an ideal reference for both Verilog-A and Verilog-AMS. A companion website, www.designers-guide.com, provides electronic copies of all the models used in this book, a library of user-contributed models, a discussion forum, additional documents on simulation and modeling, and other useful material.
The Designer's Guide to Verilog-AMS is written for analog and mixed-signal designers, particularly those designing larger and more complex circuits.
Customer Reviews:
An introduction to Verilog AMS.......2006-08-14
I am new to verilog A and even newer to Verilog AMS. I thought the book was a reasonable introduction to the language, but I prefer a longer text with more content. The book is only of moderate length and expensive as seems to be typical of Kluwer texts. There are also some spots where clarity, at least to myself, was lacking. A user will need the Verilog AMS license from Cadence to use this language. Lacking such a license, I was never able to apply the mixed signal info from the text. For the pure Verilog A user who is doing only analog and not mixed signal sims, this book may not offer an advantage over Fitzpatrick's book even though it is newer. For the practicing engineer, this text is a far better way of getting introduced to Verilog AMS than Cadence's cryptic documentation.
Excellent introduction to the language & excelent reference.......2005-12-22
This book is currently the only up-to-date reference book for Verilog-A and Verilog-AMS (the book by Fitzpatrick is very incomplete and way out of date).
It introduces the language by using a series of relatively simple yet useful examples. In doing so it gets you up and running quickly and then builds your knowledge of the language. It takes you through Verilog-A in some depth, then presents enough Verilog-HDL (the digital subset) to give analog designers a workable understanding of Verilog, and then covers Verilog-AMS in depth.
The book has one chapter that acts as a complete reference for the manual for VerilogA/MS and and excellent index. I use the book as a reference as I write models and can always find what I am looking for very quickly.
In short, I recommend it whole-heartily. It is an essential book for anyone that uses Verilog-A or Verilog-AMS.

Pointer to more information.......2004-12-12
I am one of the authors of this book and I wanted to let you know that if you wished to find out more about it before your ordered it, you can go to its home page, which can be found at http://www.designers-guide.com/Books/. It contains considerably more information about the book, including excerpts.
Amazon would not allow me to post this message to you without giving the book a star rating. So I did my best to provide an unbiased opinion ;-).

Great Book.......2007-04-03
Comprehensive treatment of the subject, very clear and easy to understand. Also has advanced topics.
Generally good coverage of VLSI design.......2007-02-13
Good book covering CMOS VLSI design. Excellent turtorial on Verilog in the appendix.
Good for reference, but not for beginners.......2007-01-23
I recently taught a senior undergraduate/first year graduate introductory course with VLSI with this book as the text. I found this book to be confusing and frustrating to the students. In order to lecture on VLSI topics in what I thought was a logical order, I had to jump around in the text book. My main complaint is that the book is organized more like an encylopedia and not like a textbook. As such I think it makes a very good reference for those with previous training or experience in the VLSI field, but confusing and unhelpful for those learning the field for the first time.
Oddly, the second edition of Weste (Weste and Eshragian) is far better organized and much more coherent in its development of topics within VLSI. I found myself often going back to the second edition when I was preparing lectures.
A second complaint is that the book introduces logical effort as a primary topic early on in the discussion of switching delays, in my opinion at the expense of discussion of the fundamental circuit mechanisms in switching delay (which again are discussed in detail in Weste 2nd Ed). The emphasis on logical effort continues throughout the text. Again, a choice that is reasonable if your audience is experienced engineers but not for an introductory course.
I will probably change texts for next year, most likely to the text by Rabaey et al, which appears to be much better organized for an introduction to VLSI. In sum, Weste 3rd edition might make a good text for a second or third course in VLSI, or a good reference for practitioners in the field, but not a good text for a first course in VLSI.
Excellent.......2006-02-05
This edition is as useful as the earlier editions. Besides providing insight on almost all the topics of VLSI, the third edition also addresses several issues related to the sub-micron technology.
Rich engineering information from practice in VLSI.......2006-01-28
I have more than 15 integrated circuit design text books, this new edition is one of the best. It bridges academy with industry for VLSI, I like the part about "pitfalls" very much, it provides real lessons what industry has experienced. I like the way this book surveys related topics, for example, sequential circuits topics. It has a brief and good coverage on low power topic(covered in sections in differenct chapters). It also introduces Hspice with useful commands not seen in other text books.
Previously I mainly used Jan Rabaey's `Digital Integrated Circuit ' book for research before Fall 2004(I still use it today, it's also one of the best books), I must say that this 3rd edition added more latest materials, I am amazed about how the authors read so many IEEE papers and sort, category them in this book. Thank the authors for supply such valuble information in one book!

Surely there must be a better verilog book out there.......2007-05-02
Here are my complaints with the book:
1. Poor organization -- While it does contain a fairly complete description of Verilog, it's not a very useful description. Reading this book is like reading the Tax Act - all the information is there somewhere, but good luck trying to find it.
2. Poor index -- As a reference, this book is pretty much useless because it lacks a good index. Many items discussed in the book are _not_ in the index. So you can never find that thing that you vaguely remember reading about last month. And you cannot find the answer to a simple question quickly.
3. Lack of practical examples -- For a chip designer or verifier, this book is more or less useless. Although it claims to be "A Guide to Digital Design and Synthesis", there is only one brief chapter on synthesis, and it is severely lacking (a mere 40 pages out of 450). He doesn't even demonstrate how to code a flip-flop with an asynchronous reset. When it comes to practical usage, you're better off searching the web, or reading the source code for the openrisc processor, or something written by an experienced co-worker, or even just reading chapters 11 and 12 of "Application Specific Integrated Circuits" by Michael Smith (also available online I think).
4. Expensive -- I recommend you save your money and just use on-line resources to learn Verilog. None of these on-line resources are great, but at least you will be getting your money's worth, which is more than I can say about this book.
Awful reference source.......2007-04-01
I used this book to learn Verilog and if you read it from beginning to end, you might learn the gist of the language...but that's it. The book is virtually useless as any kind of reference source. The index is almost unusable (if you want to learn about the keywords "fork" or "join", for example, good luck. They aren't even listed in the index, along with just about everything else). Descriptions of how the language works are cryptic and overly brief, though the examples are sometimes helpful.
I seldom write reviews of books, but this one has annoyed me so much that I felt compelled to do so.
All in all, it's better than no book at all, but not much better.
Great coverage of Verilog language.......2006-10-11
Very comprehensive text about the Verilog language, covering the various aspects of the language. The text is clear and well organized. The exercises at the end of the chapter helped me a lot in the learning process. The simulator included is very simnple and all examples in the book run flawlessly. A few things I did not like: the few mistakes in the text and code could have been easily caught by any careful reviewer, the lack of a more detailed example to show the usage of the various constructs in a real world Verilog design and hints about how to build synthesizable Verilog programs. I have enjoyed the author's style and recommend the book for any person who wants to learn Verilog, including other software engineers like myself who want to understand some HDL basics.
Good explanations but not for reference.......2006-01-07
I read the book; it is a good one for reader to catch the idea quickly. But to use it as a reference book might not be a good idea. The topic organization is divided into basic usage section and advanced technique section, and kind of hard to locate for a certain issue. However, it is still worthy of reading as a beginner. The most things I like this book is it use example(s) to explain the concept.
an easy language.......2005-12-29
The author offers more than just a detailing of the various parts of the Verilog language. He also covers extra features that enhance what you can do in Verilog for the purposes of modelling or analysis.
Perhaps the most important aspect is how to divide your design into modules. A top-down approach that can greatly aid reducing the complexity of the original problem. Also, constructing modules helps in the testing of the full circuit, by being able to design in tests of each module. If you have a background in software, then you will recognise this factorisation into modules as very akin to traditional software design.
For the student, the chapters have numerous problem sets that let you tackle the language. The text shows that Verilog is actually a fairly simple language, as computer languages do. Those of you who have programmed in other languages should encounter no serious problems with Verilog.
Average customer rating:
- Dissappointing. Good subject, poorly covered.
- Excellent Book for Beginner and Experienced Engineers
- Great book !

- OK, but if you get 1 HSDD book, get Johnson instead.

* Radiated emission problems and how to minimize system noise
* The practical aspects of making measurements in high-speed digital systems
Customer Reviews:
Dissappointing. Good subject, poorly covered........2003-08-14
I was very disappointed with this book. It covers a very useful subject, but it is not well written. Almost every section was done better in other books covering the same material. It will be hard to prove how bad this book is, since on the surface everything seems to be there. However, as somebody who have read many books on this subject it was painful to read this one. It is more like a cut and paste job putting together well-known material without any new insights.
Despite its shortcomings, people who are not familiar with this subject can find this book remarkable and very useful.
Suggested Reading:
Howard Johnson's "Black Magic" and "Advanced Black Magic" books are definitely more pleasant to read while at a similar basic level. More advanced books on the same subjects include the classic work " Electromagnetic Compatibility" by Clayton Paul and of course most books on Microwave engineering. Brian Young's "Digital Signal Integrity"-although being less practical is a nicely done basic book discussing modeling and simulation of signal integrity.
Excellent Book for Beginner and Experienced Engineers.......2003-05-01
Well organized book that does not skip on details. It explains in a clear and concise manner transmission line issues such as reflections, the why's and how's of matching impedance, and crosstalk among others.
Great book !.......2003-02-09
Great explanations, with good examples. It is a very easy and interesting read, at the same time going into needed detail of high speed digital signalling issues. My course uses Digital Systems Engineering by Dally as text, but I find myself reading this book instead to get a better understanding, as it is clearer and better organized. Coming in really handy for my upcoming exam review!
A great perspective of the real world.......2002-02-22
This book is excellent. As an experienced I.C. designer, I found practical information about interconnect theory and design practices. The book was well written; a good balance between theory and problem solving. The information is useful from the chip level to the outside world.
OK, but if you get 1 HSDD book, get Johnson instead........2002-02-08
This book is OK. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
I was dismayed that Hall et al kept referring to Johnson & Graham's High Speed Digital Design instead of explaining material themselves.
I own both (Johnson and Hall). I prefer Johnson. But that's my preference ....

VHDL for Logic Synthesis
ASIN: 0262162245 |
Book Description
This textbook teaches VHDL using system examples combined with programmable logic and supported by laboratory exercises. While other textbooks concentrate only on language features, Circuit Design with VHDL offers a fully integrated presentation of VHDL and design concepts by including a large number of complete design examples, illustrative circuit diagrams, a review of fundamental design concepts, fully explained solutions, and simulation results. The text presents the information concisely yet completely, discussing in detail all indispensable features of the VHDL synthesis. The book is organized in a clear progression, with the first part covering the circuit level, treating foundations of VHDL and fundamental coding, and the second part covering the system level (units that might be located in a library for code sharing, reuse, and partitioning), expanding upon the earlier chapters to discuss system coding.
Part I, "Circuit Design," examines in detail the background and coding techniques of VHDL, including code structure, data types, operators and attributes, concurrent and sequential statements and code, objects (signals, variables, and constants), design of finite state machines, and examples of additional circuit designs. Part II, "System Design," builds on the material already presented, adding elements intended mainly for library allocation; it examines packages and components, functions and procedures, and additional examples of system design. Appendixes on programmable logic devices (PLDs/FPGAs) and synthesis tools follow Part II. The book's highly original approach of teaching through extensive system examples as well as its unique integration of VHDL and design make it suitable both for use by students in computer science and electrical engineering.
Customer Reviews:
I used this book in teaching VHDL! A great book for beginners!.......2007-10-09
I was looking for a simple book to use as the main reference for my students, who are new to the concept of the hardware description languages. I found this the best book to fit my needs. It is simple and has a good organization which takes you slowly through the main concepts of the VHDL. It greatly helped me setting the outline for the course.
A jewel for the VHDL beginners.......2007-09-15
Author communicates his thoughts in very precise and concise language (I found only one minor typo). This book focuses on writing synthesizable code; that fact alone makes it a very practical reference for any engineer working with CPLD or FPGA. If one supplements this book with VHDL reference and Xilinx Web edition of ISE, it is possible to get started quickly; at least I did. Thanks Volnei.
Great BOOK.......2007-06-27
Totally impressed with the book. The way it is written is fantastic. It is a great reference for the beginner as covers the basic aspects of the VHDL including syntax. It has pretty good examples for references (although it is just good for beginners , but still it is better then other books as these are complete examples (Including entity and architecture and other needed stuff for the example) unlike other books which only give part of the answer.)
I can definetly suggest this book for beginner who wants to learn syntax of VHDL and how to use that in the mini vhdl code examples. It is also good for the people who knows VHDL but want some reference in case they forgot some syntax or methods.
Good intro to VHDL.......2007-05-17
I used it for a class on ASIC. I liked this book a lot. Subject was presented in a clear and simple way.
Not only it supplies VHDL syntax but also examples to show proper usage.
Alos contains Digital ckt concepts so you do not need a separate text for that.
A great book.......2007-05-14
I had no previous experience with VHDL, but this book made me curious and explained everything I wanted to know about it. This is a great book.

High quality overview of the basic ideas everyone working on wireline communication IC design should know.......2007-07-29
If you appreciate Dr. Razavi's renowned book CMOS Analog IC Design, then this book won't disappoint you since it has the same quality: brevity and clarity of explanations of what matters, clear figures and good organization. Except for a part of the PLL chapter (ch. 8) which copies from his other books, most of the book is original text which summarizes knowledge which would take much more time to gain by simply reading papers or looking at other people's design at random. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Dr. Razavi's style in his CMOS Analog IC design book and who works in the wireline communication IC design industry.
disappointed.......2005-11-20
The author doesn't have readers in his mind. I just want to use OP-AMP and photodiode to make a receiver but I can't find any example. The book should give a big picture in the beginning. Plus, the price is ridiculous.
Book Description
Functional verification remains one of the single biggest challenges in the development of complex system-on-chip (SoC) devices. Despite the introduction of successive new technologies, the gap between design capability and verification confidence continues to widen. The biggest problem is that these diverse new technologies have led to a proliferation of verification point tools, most with their own languages and methodologies.
Fortunately, a solution is at hand. SystemVerilog is a unified language that serves both design and verification engineers by including RTL design constructs, assertions and a rich set of verification constructs. SystemVerilog is an industry standard that is well supported by a wide range of verification tools and platforms. A single language fosters the development of a unified simulation-based verification tool or platform.
Consolidation of point tools into a unified platform and convergence to a unified language enable the development of a unified verification methodology that can be used on a wide range of SoC projects. ARM and Synopsys have worked together to define just such a methodology in the Verification Methodology Manual for SystemVerilog. This book is based upon best verification practices by ARM, Synopsys and their customers.
Verification Methodology Manual for SystemVerilog is a blueprint for verification success, guiding SoC teams in building a reusable verification environment taking full advantage of design-for-verification techniques, constrained-random stimulus generation, coverage-driven verification, formal verification and other advanced technologies to help solve their current and future verification problems.
This book is appropriate for anyone involved in the design or verification of a complex chip or anyone who would like to know more about the capabilities of SystemVerilog. Following the Verification Methodology Manual for SystemVerilog will give SoC development teams and project managers the confidence needed to tape out a complex design, secure in the knowledge that the chip will function correctly in the real world.

Excellent theoretical text. Probably not the best starting point.......2007-06-01
This is a very good book. However, as a newcomer to VMM, I initially got more out of "A Pragmatic Approach to VMM Adoption" by Cohen, Venkataramanan and Kumari. I use both books extensively. Since reading "A Pragmatic Approach", Bergeron's book is much more understandable and useful.
VMM is difficult.......2007-01-16
The book starts off fairly well through the first three chapters. Then all of a sudden it makes a huge leap and it becomes very difficult to follow. There are a lot of very advanced topics that require a lot of object oriented programming experience to understand. On my second reading I saw that even Janick says that he does not expect you to understand VMM on the first reading.
A class based methodology is a complex topic and the VMM book does not do much to make it any easier. If you are a C++ (or something similar) guru, then you might enjoy this book. Otherwise, save your money and download the white papers from the web.
Great book to learn about VMM........2006-08-31
I got this book at work to learn about VMM and the use of it.
It covers high level concepts and recommendations on developing a successful verification environment. It does not teach you the syntax or the basics of System Verilog. Beside teaching you these high level concepts, it covers in detail the use of the VMM base classes offered with Synopsys' VCS tools.
The book has code example in each topic covered which will make it easier to understand.
The topics covered include, but not limited to, Verification planning, assertions, testbench infrastructure, stimulus/response and coverage.
If you are using VMM in your development, then this book is definitely the manual that goes with it.
A must have for a successful verification engineer working with VMM. (6 out of 5 stars)

Book Description
This book organizes Verilog routines according to functionality, making it easy to locate the material you need. Each function is described by a behavioral model to use for simulation, followed by the RTL code you'll use to synthesize the gate-level implementation. Extensive test code is included for each function, to assist you with your own verification efforts. The CD-ROM includes all of the Verilog code from the book, plus FPGA Express synthesis software from Synopsys and SILOS III simulation software from Simucad.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent resource for designers........2005-02-16
The book covers synthesis and design issues with clarity and concise explanations for each case. There isn't any extra fluff to get in the way of going from concept-to-synthesis for each topic presented.
Excellent book on verilog.......2003-06-24
Bob's "Verilog Designer's Library" is an excellent book for
verilog programmers. It does help me much. Every example in
this book is very practical to engineers. I like it.
Some Good Points.......2002-12-31
This book is good for beginners, it has a few good ideas in it. The Behavioral vs. RTL versions of the code is pretty useless, but the RTL vs. Simulation versions are useful. Getting a quick and dirty unit test bench up and running is a good idea. But DO NOT USE THE ASYNCHRONOUS FIFO. It does not work. If you are crossing clock boundaries, this is not the way to do it!
The reviews about Verilog Designer's Library.......2002-12-25
This book reviews the the Verilog Coding Technique in part one. It introduces the Genearl Coding, Behavioral Coding, and RTL coding technique. It makes reader understand how important the coding technique is. This book also explains synthesis issue and simulation issue. After these chapters introduction, the basic building block, state machines, some complex functions, error dection and correction, memory controller Verilog behaviour code and RTL code are introduced in further chapter. This book is for whom has a basic familiarity with Verilog language. It is very useful and valuable for hardware designer,hardware system engineer and student.
Handy Library, Cut and Paste.......2002-12-13
The book has gone through the very details of logic synthesis. With a rich and usable set of design ideas that can be used in any design with minimal modifications. Save time in your design while you learn.
