Summary: Excellent book on verilog
Review: Bob's "Verilog Designer's Library" is an excellent book for
verilog programmers. It does help me much. Every example in
this book is very practical to engineers. I like it.

Summary: Should be renamed to "Verilog Beginner's Library"
Review: I am a power user of Verilog. I have "all" the books on Verilog. I bought this book just to make sure that my library is complete. Atleast 1/3rd of this book is complete waste. Who writes behavioral code for counters and adders? Behavioral code section for all the modules is unnecessary. Author should remove them and save paper (save trees too). Behavioral code is used in real life to simulate parts of design which can not be described in RTL like memories or some processor macros and not to describe simple designs. A real life designer will never keep such simple models in his library. Most models are suitable as a starting guide for a beginner. I think book should be renamed as "Verilog Beginner's Library" BTW I will surely congratulate author for collecting many different kinds of models in one place. I give 2 stars for this effort.

Summary: A Necessary Text
Review: I am a senior systems engineer. This book has been instrumental in getting some of our new engineers quickly up to speed in Verilog so that they could begin doing design right away. This book doesn't try to solve every problem because it doesn't have to - instead it enables the reader to learn the cornerstones of design, teaching the user necessary skills and not simply cookbook repetitions. Synthesizable code is treated more fairly in this text than others. I was very pleased to add this to my library.

Summary: Not helpful
Review: I have numerous Verilog books and this one I use the least. The examples are for simple applications that most people never need or can figure out on their own. I would not recomend this book.

Summary: A helpful text on verilog.
Review: I have several Verilog texts in my library, and I refer to this one quite often. The examples are clear and concise and compile without error direct from the included CD. People looking to this text to "lift" code and drop into their design will probably have issues, but this is standard faire in the design world. Hardly is code directly ported to the next design. Bob was also helpful in quickly replying to emails when I have questions

Summary: A good handbook to start to build your project
Review: I helped a design engineer in my group to start a CRC RTL coding in our project by using the code from this book as a basis and found the book is very useful. There are three RTL coding techniques mentioned in this book: reliability, scalability and portability. I think they are important and not mentioned in the books I have read. I want to submit this comment but I could not get rid off the age which can only allow me to put max 12? please remove the age from the comment and you should modify this part from your web site.

Summary: A good library of models
Review: I was looking for models for a dual-port RAM and a FIFO. I couldn't find any book that had examples of either one of them. This book does and in great detail. That was worth the price of the book for me.

Summary: Excellent resource for designers.
Review: The book covers synthesis and design issues with clarity and concise explanations for each case. There isn't any extra fluff to get in the way of going from concept-to-synthesis for each topic presented.
Rating:
Summary: Handy Library, Cut and Paste
Review: The book has gone through the very details of logic synthesis. With a rich and usable set of design ideas that can be used in any design with minimal modifications. Save time in your design while you learn.
