Title: Real World FPGA Design with Verilog by Ken Coffman ISBN: 0130998516 Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Pub. Date: 15 November, 1999 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $83.00 |

Summary: Original approach to Verilog - but needs tune up
Comment: When I started reading this book, I was excited about its potential. Written by an engineer, it did not focus on the language, but on real world engineering issues (how about an HDL design book that talks about robustness, metastability, etc. on its first pages?).
The book does address many engineering issues, as well as real FPGA features and constraints that for many engineers take years to learn. Many of this information is there.
But, and it's a big but, the information is not presented clearly. There are too many bugs for a teaching book. And the organization of the text is not good.
Anyway, I would recommend this book to any design engineer interested in learning Verilog (but not as a first book, maybe as a second)
Be sure to pay a visit to this site:
http://www.bytechservices.com/verilog.htm#errata
where there are corrections to the bugs on the book.
About the companion CD: It's a fine piece of CD, with many utilities, of which the Silos Verilog simulator alone almost justifies buying the book itself (btw, you can also download Silos from the Internet)
About myself: I'm a hardware design engineer, with about 10 years experience on the field and the last four years, at HDL design.

Summary: It is a nice book for a FPGA design with Verilog
Comment: Ken Coffman has 17 years experience with digital design. I have read through whole book in the passed few days. I have almost 5 years FPGA design experience with Nortel Network, Lucent Technologies. Through read this book, there are many interesting sections can enhance my design knowledge. This book covered a lot of fields such as how does using the design tools, How does doing the statistic timing analysis, coding style etc. I think it is a nice book for all FPGA designers.

Summary: Good writing style
Comment: I'm an analog design engineer with over 20 years of experience in industry. I want to add FPGA's to my bag of tricks, and I ran across Mr. Coffman's book via a search with Google. My book arrived a week ago and I am finding it to be just the kind of book I have been looking for. He has a good writing style, very easy to follow. I plan to invest many hours working through his examples with the included software. I have read other reviews of this book at this Amazon site. Some people are looking for an academic book on Verilog. Others are looking for a book that will teach them Verilog without spending the time programming and simulating (ie learning without doing homework). If you fall into either of these groups, this book is not for you. However, if you are an experienced engineer looking to learn about Verilog and VHDL through honest study and experimenting, then Mr. Coffman's book is an excellent choice to guide you through this process with a focus on the "real world". You also may find yourself chuckling at some of his commentary on the way
