<A VHDL reference manual is <The VHDL Handbook, David Coelho, Kluwer Publishers, TK7874.C6 1989 <also <IEEE Standard VHDL Language REfernce Manual The only "reference manual" is that of the IEEE. It may be obtained from the IEEE publications department in Piscataway, NJ: phone 1-800-678-IEEE. The text cited is good, but not a "reference manual". Another text, by Lipsett, Schaeffer, and Ussery, is also published by Kluwer: "VHDL: Hardware Description and Design". This is more "language oriented"; its structure follows that of the LRM, where Dave Coelho's book is more "designer oriented". ISBN of the Lipsett book is 0-7923-9030-X. The address for Kluwer is 101 Phillip Driuve, Assinippi Park, Norwellm MA 02061. The JEDEC manual is put out by the EIA: 2001 Eye Street, Washington, DC 20006: phone (202) 457-4900. I have never even heard of the third standard. Please send Email if this is insufficient, or for more info on VHDL texts or training. Dave Barton barton@i2wash.com
