Digital Integrated Circuit Design Using Verilog and Systemverilog

Price is great and the book is relatively NEW. No mark or sign of USED

I'm a non-engineering degree'd professional who works with Electrical Engineers/Circuit designers daily. I needed a way to clearly understand the work these engineers were engaging in for project review purposes. This book gives me a clear understanding of the circuit design process, without having to have an engineering degree. If I was an engineer, I can see how this book would give clear insight into Verilog and System Verilog code and how to use it efficiently. Easy to read, and even my son who is a junior in high school picked in up and I haven't gotten it back as yet since I bought it! He's on his way to becoming a Semiconductor Design Engineer!

Digital Integrated Circuit Design by Ron Mehler is a highly recommended addition to any digital engineer's library. Although there are several good books written regarding the SystemVerilog Language in both design and verification, Mr. Mehler's work approaches the design effort first and how to use the SystemVerilog language as a tool to accomplish the design. This is a valuable resource to any digital engineer responsible for the design of digital system using SystemVerilog. The variety of design examples i.e. state machines, FIR Filters, FIFOs, Demux, DFT, Synchronization etc., make this an excellent resource for any design engineer.

The organization of this book seems a little chaotic. The material doesn't seem to flow naturally.The biggest problem with this book, though, is the extremely poor quality of the code listings and screenshots of simulations. They're fuzzy and very low resolution. Quality this poor has no place in a $75 book from a well-known publisher like Newnes. It's downright unprofessional.

This is a really well written book from very start. Really easy to read and follow.I am experienced in VHDL and wanted to learn SystemVerilog which thus also required to learn the parent language Verilog. Understanding baggage of confusing concepts in Verilog was proving difficult for me until I got hold of this book. I finished reading first two chapters and about to finish the third chapter.
