Logic Design And Verification Using Systemverilog -revised- Donald Thomas Jun 2026

Bridging the gap between RTL design and rigorous verification for the working engineer and the advanced student.

(published in March 2016) is a practical, tutorial-style guide designed to bridge the gap between introductory digital logic and professional-level verification. It focuses on teaching the broad spectrum of SystemVerilog features through hands-on examples. Amazon.com Core Content & Structure Bridging the gap between RTL design and rigorous

Buy the print edition. Keep it next to your workstation. Dog-ear the chapter on always_ff vs always_comb . Highlight the assertion syntax. Over time, it will become not just a textbook, but a reference manual for building bug-free silicon. Amazon

Most engineering curricula teach design (RTL) and verification (Testbenches) as two separate courses. Thomas collapses this distinction. He teaches the reader that writing design code inherently defines verification requirements. Highlight the assertion syntax

The Revised edition of "Logic Design and Verification Using SystemVerilog" is Thomas’s answer to the modern challenges of ASIC and FPGA design. Unlike textbooks that treat verification as an afterthought (a single chapter on testbenches), Thomas integrates verification throughout the entire design flow.
