Engineering Digital Design, Second Edition provides the most extensive coverage of any available textbook in
digital logic
and design. Modern notation combines with state-of-the-art treatment of the most important subjects in digital
design to
provide the student with the background needed to enter industry or graduate study at a competitive level. Combinatorial
logic
design and synchronous and asynchronous sequential machine design methods are given equal weight, and new ideas
and
design approaches are explored. Software programs, including a logic simulator and a logic minimizer, are are bundled
with this
text together with detailed instructions for their use.
The most complete coverage of any text in digital logic and design
Appropriate for introductory and intermediate courses in digital logic and design
Over 670 figures and tables help to replace lengthy explanations
More than 1000 worked and unworked exercises and problems aid the learning process
Unique coverage of ALUs
Extensive coverage of number systems, binary arithmetic and codes
Exceptionally strong in synchronous and asynchronous machine design
CAD oriented one-hot and array algebraic approaches to state machine design
An introduction to VHDL included
CD-ROM with logic simulator and minimizer programs bundled with text
Extensive glossary presented at the beginning of the text
Students with a strong background in digital design are in high demand in industry throughout the world. Exposure
to
modern notation, new and state-of-the-art design methods, and challenging problems--all provide the student with
the
background necessary to enter industry or graduate study in the subject area.
The extensive coverage eliminates the necessity to change texts between first and second level courses.
Complex subject matter that is commonly avoided in other texts is presented in a simple and straightforward
manner so
as to be easily assimilated by the reader.
New approaches to design and analysis of both combinatorial logic and sequential machines that appear in this
text
should serve to stimulate the spirit of inquiry.
Dividing the material into a large number of chapters makes it easy for the instructor to pick and choose subject
areas
from the text.
Students will learn the rudiments of VHDL and the use of a logic simulator and minimizer
