Readings and References
CSE P567 Winter, 2010

There is no textbook for this course. Readings will be divided into Required Reading and References.
While you are expected to read the required reading, the references are listed so that you can get extra information if you need it.
The Required Readings will be available as handouts, through the UW library, or on the Web.

Required Reading

Week 1 - Logic Synthesis for VLSI Systems (Pages 1-14 - see Homework #1)

References

The first half of the course will cover hardware design using state-of-the-art tools. I will assume that you have some background in Boolean algebra and logic gates. There are any number of textbooks that cover introductory logic design - many of these will be available in the 003 lab for in-lab use and limited checkout. The best of these are:

Contemporary Logic Design by Katz and Borriello
Fundamentals of Digital Logic with Verilog Design by Brown and Vranesic
Digital Design by Morris Mano

We will also be using Verilog to practice hardware design. You do not need to become a Verilog expert and so the tutorials and reference guides should provide sufficient background. There are also many Verilog tutorials and references on the Web.

Verilog Tutorial is a good tutorial by Scott Hauck, UW EE professor.
Verilog Reference Guides are very nice PDFs available from from Sutherland-HDL.
The best Verilog textbook is: Verilog Digital System Design by Navabi and Zainalabedin
There are many lab copies of Starter's Guide to Verilog 2001 by Michael Celetti
