Your road map for meeting today's digital testing challenges Today, digital logic devices are common in products that impact public safety, including applications in transportation and human implants. Accurate testing has become more critical to reliability, safety, and the bottom line. Yet, as digital systems become more ubiquitous and complex, the challenge of testing them has become more difficult. As one development group designing a RISC stated, "the work required to . . . test a chip of this size approached the amount of effort required to design it." A valued reference for nearly two decades, Digital Logic Testing and Simulation has been significantly revised and updated for designers and test engineers who must meet this challenge. There is no single solution to the testing problem. Organized in an easy-to-follow, sequential format, this Second Edition familiarizes the reader with the many different strategies for testing and their applications, and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches. The book reviews the building blocks of a successful testing strategy and guides the reader on choosing the best solution for a particular application. Digital Logic Testing and Simulation, Second Edition covers such key topics as: Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) and cycle-based simulation Tester architectures/Standard Test Interface Language (STIL) Practical algorithms written in a Hardware Design Language (HDL) Fault tolerance Behavioral Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) The development of the Test Design Expert (TDX), the many obstacles encountered and lessons learned in creating this novel testing approach Up-to-date and comprehensive, Digital Logic Testing and Simulation is an important resource for anyone charged with pinpointing faulty products and assuring quality, safety, and profitability. About the Author: ALEXANDER MICZO, PhD, has lectured extensively, both domestically and abroad, and is an adjunct professor at Santa Clara University.
This book is the Electronic Engineers' comprehensive VHDL/Verilog modeling guide for ASIC and FPGAs

This book describes, and shows by practical example, how to design ASIC and FPGA devices using the two industry standard hardware description languages, VHDL and Verilog. The emphasis is on RTL modeling using synthesis within a top-down design methodology.

With this book learn how to:

• make chip design easier,
• improve your design productivity,
• design efficient synthesizable models,
• write good HDL test harnesses,
• acquire good design and modeling practices.

The author's straightforward facts take you from the basics of ASIC and FPGA design all the way though the most complex HDL applications. He makes understanding HDL modeling easy through his collection of complete graphical model descriptions, practical planning and helpful tips.

Electronic Engineers and students will find this complete VHDL/Verilog modeling guide to be an essential addition to their technical resources.

ASIC and FPGA VHDL/VERILOG design and RTL modeling guide. Characterizes ASICs and FPGAs, discusses synthesis constraints and optimization. Introduces HDL/VERILOG language fundamentals and structured design concepts. Explains modeling of combinatorial, synchronous logic circuits and details finite state machine modeling. Describes how to write test harnesses and gives modeling examples. Very good chapter on design/modeling recommendations, issues & techniques. A unique feature of this publication is the use of complete VHDL code on the left side of a page with the same VERILOG code on the right. Example diskette available by order. Very good tutorial, user's guide and reference. Recommended.

After introducing the fundamentals of how a computer works, this book describes the design of a simple computer from start to finish. The CD-ROM contains more than 200 megabytes of multimedia and a fully functional Internet-ready virtual computer. The book guides the reader through nine interactive labs which provide an in-depth understanding of the way in which computers work. The text outlines new testing strategies arising from the increased complexity of circuitry hardware and software programmes. Traditional approaches for generating stimuli and applying them to circuits are examined, as well as methods of design, trends and recent research. After introducing the fundamentals of how a computer works, this describes the design of a simple computer -- from an AND gate and the design of the arithmetic/logic unit (ALU) to the blocks required to implement the central processing unit (CPU).
