Introduction to Verilog - Paperback

by Bob Zeidman (Author)

This self-study guide came about as the result of the popularity of my textbook, Verilog Designer's Library. That book is an intermediate to advanced level reference book about the Verilog Hardware Description Language. Shortly after its publication, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) approached me to create an introductory book, based on the Verilog seminar that I give around the world. Over the years I've used the feedback from students to try to make it the best introductory Verilog course available. I hope I've succeeded. If you want to comment, either to congratulate me on the excellent job I've done, to ask a question, to point out a mistake or misconception, to suggest improvements for the future, or simply to complain, please do so. I welcome all feedback.
