Synopsis
For one/two-semester, freshman/sophomore-level courses in Digital Design, taught in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering. Providing superb coverage of classical hardware design for both combinational and sequential logic circuits, this text takes a contemporary approach to design with modern CAD tools. Its extensive use of software (including the Xilinx Student Edition) enlivens the numerous examples and offers insight into actual industrial practices. *"Exercises to Test Your Knowledge" - Ends all major sections and includes over 250 review problems with complete solutions for student self-study. Encourages students to progress at a comfortable level and to self-study. *Eight case studies - Takes twenty-six different approaches to a series of design problems. Shows students multiple ways to solve the same problems in order to promote critical thinking and creative use of the basic techniques learned. *Over 160 realistic examples - Illustrates each topic. Allows maximum topic coverage with great flexibility. *Over 1000 end-of-chapter problems. Problems designed to enhance student learning. *Early introduction to "Programmable Logic Devices" - Ch. 3. Supplies students with the material essential for understanding modern technology - i.e., PROMs, PLA, PALs, GALs, and FPGAs. *A structured approach for the design of Digital MUX and DMUX trees. Introduces students to an iterative modular design process. *Expansion of design capability via "modular design techniques." Introduces students to modular techniques for the design of larger digital circuits as used in industry. *Synchronous finite state machine design - Uses "full encoding" and "one-hot encoding," "critical path timing analysis," and "functional simulations" via CAD tools. Provides students with the necessary design techniques to design finite state machines and simulate their designs via CAD tools that support schematic capture and/or VHDL. *VHDL Synthesis by Example. Allows an easy introduction to VHDL and prepares students for a follow up course in computer design.
