Botros provides the fundamental knowledge necessary to understand how to design and analyze basic digital logic systems and to know how to simulate these systems using hardware description languages (HDL). The languages he uses here are Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and Verilog HDL, along with the mixed language description that uses constructs from both. He covers data-flow description; behavioral description; structural description; switch-level description; procedures, tasks, and functions; mixed-type description; advanced HDL description; mixed-language description; and synthesis basics.
