Hi John,
Actually we have what you're seeking in the Synopsys website. Go to
www.synopsys.com, choose "Behavioral Compiler" under "synopsys products"
list. Click on "Insight for Behavioral Compiler", you will get into
BC insight webpage:
http://www.synopsys.com/insight/BC/BC_home.html
You need to have synopsys username and password to login. This page will
guide you through a BC overview, the basics of BC, how to write your
design in Behavioral level and achieve higher performance.
There are two design examples under "Design Examples". One is a simple
complex multiplication design which shows you the basic behavioral flow
and BC commands. Behavioral code is shown in both Verilog and VHDL.
Another design is a real world example -- Inverse Quantisation (IQ) widely
used in MPEG decoders. It has the design description in .pdf format and
the whole design in both Verilog and VHDL which can be downloaded directly
from the Web. The file contains several labs that teach you how to complete
the design for synthesis and simulation and use advanced techniques to
achieve higher performance.
On the web, you can also download the "Behavioral Compiler Handbook" which
comes pretty handy and useful.
