Starting with a simple but workable design sample, increasingly more complex fundamentals of the language are introduced until all core features of VHDL are brought to light. Included in the coverage are state machines, modular design, FPGA-based memories, clock management, specialized I/O, and an introduction to techniques of simulation. The goal is to prepare the reader to design real-world FPGA solutions. All the sample code used in the book is available online. What Strunk and White did for the English language with “The Elements of Style,” VHDL BY EXAMPLE does for FPGA design. 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: Great book for engineering students - This was a recommended book for my Reconfigurable Computing course and I am really glad I bought it. The actual textbook for the course has many syntax errors in the examples but this book is full of well chosen and really useful examples. Great for someone who knows programming or the basics of digital design. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,159,805 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21,206 in Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 114 Reviews | ## Images ![VHDL BY EXAMPLE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DkbTZ60dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Profoundly simple.

The actual textbook for the course has many syntax errors in the examples but this book is full of well chosen and really useful examples. Great for someone who knows programming or the basics of digital design. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to Learn From *by A***O on August 30, 2017* Very good book. I felt like I was easily able to understand the concepts and syntax. The examples really helped. Just be aware that this book expects you to be well versed in digital logic design and doesn't teach you everything-but no book will really teach you everything! ## 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://belize.desertcart.com/products/14666587-vhdl-by-example](https://belize.desertcart.com/products/14666587-vhdl-by-example) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belize* *Store origin: BZ* *Last updated: 2026-10-21*
