VHDL BY EXAMPLE Review: Profoundly simple. A great starting point into FPGA design for an experienced student or engineer. - For example, a software engineer can read this primer tutorial in a weekend and then decide how they want to approach further learning in the subject. I happened to buy this book along with Ben Cohen's VHDL book, which reads much more like a reference guide. The two together are perfect because the Readler book give you enough of a quick introduction and overview that you can get going with a development board right away using Cohen as a language reference. Of course, you'll also want to read through your chip's vendor guides, but those can be numerous and scattered, and sometimes it isn't easy to find a starting point. This book gives you a great set of first steps and it's very reasonably priced. It doesn't skip or ignore more advanced material, but it ties them in via keywords, references, and pointers rather than devoting large sections or chapters to them. This lets you build a strong foundation nice and fast. Well worth the 5 stars. Pros: - Very few typos. Don't mind the one on the back cover, ha! - Gives you a strong start with just enough breadth and depth, and does so quickly. - Early examples give code, schematic, and waveform and avoid elaborate explanation. Perfectly sufficient for a quick reader. Cons: - Illustrates some combinatorial code at the start, but spends most of the book giving behavioural code examples with the "process" keyword. Although this will let you write sequential code quickly and more tersely, not every circuit will benefit from this style. More combinatorial examples might have been nice, however there's no shortage of these examples from the major chip vendors. Review: Excellent Value for Time and Money - For whatever reason, even though I'd been studying VHDL from various sources before reading this book, this was the one that finally put it all together for me. It taught me some ingeniously simple programming practices that I never would have come up with myself. And even though it covers a lot of material, I got through it in only a few hours. The index at the back of the book isn't complete, nor does it cross reference enough different terms. But the book is short enough that you can flip through it to find what you are looking for pretty fast. It offers excellent value for the time and money. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #267,689 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,495 in Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (112) | | Dimensions | 5.98 x 0.3 x 9.02 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0983497354 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0983497356 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 120 pages | | Publication date | May 14, 2014 | | Publisher | Full Arc Press | ## Images ![VHDL BY EXAMPLE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DkbTZ60dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Profoundly simple.

You can feel that the Author is very experienced and can add lots o tips and best practices from his field experience. However I would like the book to be more extensive and comprehensive. It sometimes feels to cut corners and give simplistic explanations when more differentiation would be suitable. The glossary is too short, it is barely usable as a reference, which would be the best use of this book, given its "best practice" content. ## Frequently Bought Together - VHDL BY EXAMPLE - Programming FPGAs: Getting Started with Verilog --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14666587-vhdl-by-example](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/14666587-vhdl-by-example) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
