Product Review
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).'

Reader Reviews
This is a typical Verilog book, which isn't saying much. The examples tend to be contrived and mostly show how *not* to write good Verilog code - by the author's own admission! You won't find a decent example of how to model a flip flop until pg. 144, in the chapter "Advanced Procedural Modeling." If you really want this book anyway, buy it used and keep it for reference. After all, in the introduction the book says "Some of the information you want might be outside the scope of this book. Some of the other sources are simulator reference manuals; and the comp.lang.verilog usenet news group." (sic) You could also try "HDL Chip Design" by Smith since it covers Verilog and VHDL. At least it shows good style and thoroughly explains what each line of code is doing and shows synthesis results with small schematics. Comment | | (Report this)
