Digital Logic Design

This book covers the analysis and design of digital combinational and sequential circuits and systems along with the hardware description language VHDL throughout the text. The VHDL design portion for each chapter is placed at the end of the chapter, a feature that makes this book attractive for those individuals who only need to learn the Hardware Description Language or only the theory and design of logic systems or both.

More Description

This book covers the analysis and design of digital combinational and sequential circuits and systems along with the hardware description language VHDL throughout the text. The VHDL design portion for each chapter is placed at the end of the chapter, a feature that makes this book attractive for those individuals who only need to learn the Hardware Description Language or only the theory and design of logic systems or both. Although the book does not require any prerequisites, an introductory course in computer programming is deemed useful.The significant features of this text include:Solid coverage of fundamental concepts and theory A strong emphasis on systematic design and analysis proceduresNumerous number of practical design and analysis examples Large number of significant problems at the end of the chaptersAn in-depth coverage to combinational analysis and designComprehensive coverage to synchronous sequential networksDetailed methodologies to design algorithmic sequential networksCoverage to asynchronous networks analysis and design Emphasis on modular design and standard digital circuit modulesDetailed design techniques and examples with VHDL in every chapterVHDL is treated as an integral part of the book, yet can be left out if not neededIntroduction to CAD toolsThe main emphasis in this book is practical supported with a large number of design examples and solved problems, providing the necessary details to enable students, readers, and practicing engineers to design actual, self-standing systems with a wide spectrum of applications. This book treats both software and hardware designs equally with detailed examples that generate proven results. Additionally, the textbook prepares students for a design-oriented material as well as for specialized courses in VLSI design and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). In particular, emphasis is given to all-NAND gate design and gate-level VHDL for advanced system design.About the AuthorM.H.
