eSilicon Engineer's Second Edition Reference Guide ``A SystemC Primer'' Released.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2004 eSilicon Corporation, a leading custom chip company, today announced that the second edition release of "A SystemC Primer" by company engineer J. Bhasker, is now available from Star Galaxy Publishing. This easy-to-use reference book helps design engineers learn one of the newer, emerging languages, SystemC, a product of The Open SystemC Initiative, used to document designs and transfer intellectual property. The book covers the reasons behind SystemC, basic features, data types, modeling of combinational logic Also known as "combinatorial logic," it refers to a digital logic function made of primitive logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, etc.) in which all outputs of the function are directly related to the current combination of values on its inputs. , modeling of synchronous Refers to events that are synchronized, or coordinated, in time. For example, the interval between transmitting A and B is the same as between B and C, and completing the current operation before the next one is started are considered synchronous operations. Contrast with asynchronous. logic and test benches. It also includes standard examples and exercises. "The technical depth of our engineering team sets eSilicon apart from other companies and provides our customers access to some of the top minds in the industry," said Jack Harding Jack Harding was the head coach of the Miami Hurricanes football program from 1937 to 1942, and 1945 to 1947.

"Bhasker's contributions as a system architect to our customers' design work have been highly valued. His book is another example of the outstanding engineering talent at the company." Bhasker is an expert in the area of hardware description languages (language) Hardware Description Language - (HDL) A kind of language used for the conceptual design of integrated circuits. Examples are VHDL and Verilog. and RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; synthesis and has written a number of books of the subject. In addition, he has published a number of technical papers for journals and conferences in the area of design automation and high-level synthesis algorithms.
